• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
• 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste

• 1/4 cup cream cheese
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced crescents
• 1 vine-ripened tomato, sliced
• 1 seedless cucumber, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Begin with the tuna salad. Combine ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Take cut bagels and toast under a hot broiler until golden brown. While still hot smear the bottom with the cream cheese immediately. Top with a scoop of the tuna salad and then layer with red onion, tomato, cucumber and lettuce. Add the top half of the bagel and serve.
