Rita L (see my other recipe reviews) posted Feb 23, 2004 I used lime and cilantro in the avacado spread. Made it on one whole toasted bagel for myself for breakfast. The rest will be used as appetizers for later. Was just lovely! This would be great on bagel chips or toasted pita wedges.I also topped it with a very thinly sliced tomato.

Sorry, not everyone liked the texture of the smoked salmon and took it off their bagel. They did like the avocado mixture though. It is quick and easy to prepare. Thanks Derf. Bullwinkle
