Notes

• For dairy-free, choose cream cheese or ricotta from Kite Hill or Miyoko’s, or use avocado.

• For gluten-free, choose GF sourdough or a certified gluten-free bagel.

• For turkey, look for options without added nitrates or nitrites, such as Applegate or True Story.

• If choosing smoked salmon, look for wild-caught when available.

• Smoked salmon is already salty, so taste before adding extra salt.
