Smorrebrod!

Here’s something I’ve never tried before—Danish open-faced sandwiches. So many possibilities—this is just a hint of what’s possible.  The idea is to make lots of different components available and you can just assemble your sandwich as you like it. so it’s always good.

This idea started out with my obsession to try a recipe for vegan lox [yeah, you read that right], and I thought I’d just do bagels, lox, and capers, but I needed more colors! So in the photo, there’s thinly sliced radishes, red onion, cucumbers, avocado, red pepper, fresh dill, capers, cashew cream cheese, and the “lox”, which is made with carrots and it’s very good! A little clever vegetable alchemy happening there.

I toasted some dense German rye/sunflower seed bread [try to get it already sliced, otherwise it’s like slicing into a delicious brick] and loaded it up. It was so perfect. I see a lot more of this sort of thing in my future!
