Ingredients

- 1 package cream cheese (8 ounces), softened
- 3 radishes
- 1 small carrot
- 1/2 red pepper, finely chopped
- 1 stalk celery, minced

- 8 slices cooked bacon, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce
- 1 red onion, sliced into rings
Serves 4
Preparation
Slice the bagels in half, remove the "guts" (the bread) from the inside and toast.
Put the cream cheese in a medium size mixing bowl and, using a microplane or box grater, grate the radish and carrot into the bowl. Add the red pepper, celery, scallions, bacon and garlic. Season with salt and pepper; and mix until combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture on the bottom half of the bagel and top with tomato, lettuce and onion and bagel top.
