So, I have to admit something. I didn't love this recipe. Benjamin didn't really either. I saw it in yet again the Cooking Light Enlightened Cook section, and not only that, it was under "budget meals" saying it's only $2.07 a serving. Oh to be newlyweds. All about the budget right now. I looked at the recipe, saw I had everything in my pantry (which is really a couple shelves), and decided this would be a weeknight meal. It wasn't bad at all. In fact, I think if you like dijon and tang, you'd like this. Also, I think it would be better cold. Having it warm just didn't do it for me.
Here's the recipe. I think you should make it if all of these things sound good to you. What I really think sounds good (as I was chopping the onion and capers) would be to have a fresh bagel, smoked salmon, and cream cheese with those ingredients...
So, in an effort to tell you the good, and the not so good, and because I think cooking things like this makes us smarter about which recipes we chose to make, here you go. Enjoy- if that's your thing.
