  • 1 heaped tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper, to taste
  • small handful of arugula
  • 2 slices sourdough bread Note 2

  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chives chopped
  • fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

    ⅓ cup/ 75 g cream cheese + 1 heaped tablespoon Greek yogurt + 1 pinch of red chili flakes or cayenne pepper (to taste)
  • Prepare the ingredients: Wash, dry, and chop arugula. Toast the bread slices. Pat the capers dry with a paper towel.
    small handful arugula + 2 bread slices + 2.5 oz/ 75 g smoked salmon + 1 tablespoon capers

Notes

  1. Regular cream cheese (Philadelphia style) or reduced-fat cream cheese. However, ensure the cheese has at least 16 % fat.
  2. Bread: Alternatively, use other sturdy bread like whole grain, multigrain, pumpernickel, or rye. A crusty French baguette is also great.
  3. Salmon: About 4-6 slices of smoked salmon, depending on size.
