Everything Lox Salad Recipe
Our Everything Chopped Salad Kit manages to do the (nearly) impossible: reimagine an everything bagel in salad form — right down to the mini bagel toasts, everything bagel seasoning, and everything-seasoned ranch dressing. So many everythings! Naturally, when you’re already made it this far onto the delectable bridge between the cutting edge of salad innovation and beloved, breakfast-adjacent foods, you might as well go all the way by adding some salmon lox and boiled eggs to the mix.
Well, would you look at that — we just created an Everything Lox Bagel Salad, and no one had to make the trek to a deli. And depending on your egg boiling (and subsequent chilling) efficiency, you can have this ready to enjoy for your next breakfast or brunch in as little as 10 minutes.

When did this salmon lox thing actually start?
Lox bagels have roots in the Jewish immigrant communities of early 1900s New York City, where bagels, cured fish, cream cheese, and NY deli culture all found their way onto the same plate. Bagels came to the U.S. with Eastern European Jewish immigrants, and lox — i.e., salt-cured salmon — fit right in with the city’s “appetizing” shops (aka “appies), which specialized in fish, dairy, and all the good stuff that happens to go well with a bagel. Add a schmear of cream cheese, maybe some onion, capers, and tomato, and you’re all set.
A quick note: If you’re having trouble finding traditional salmon lox at the store, thin slices of smoked salmon will work just as well.
