Description
A fresh twist on a classic! Instead of bread, this sandwich features golden-baked zucchini and Parmesan “buns” that are crisp on the outside and tender within. Layered between them are silky smoked salmon, juicy tomato slices, crisp greens, and a hint of red onion for bite. A creamy, tangy spread of whipped cream cheese—blended with herbs—ties it all together. Light, flavorful, and gluten-free, this reinvented lox sandwich delivers all the indulgence of your favorite bagel without the carbs.
