Everyone needs a signature, and this one is mine. I’m all about aesthetics, and this is just one of those dishes you can serve that presents beautifully, with hardly any effort and zero cooking necessary. After slaving away making those homemade blintzes, we always need a few of these recipes!
1 (8-ounce) container cream cheese or sour cream
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup finely minced fresh, cleaned dill
1/4 cup finely minced chives
3/4 cup good-quality mayonnaise, such as Gefen
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 pounds smoked whitefish, skinned, boned and flaked
1 large stalk celery, finely diced
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
Manischewitz Kosher Salt, to taste
freshly ground Gefen Black Pepper, to taste
3 to 4 cups arugula or watercress
1 (12-ounce) package good-quality lox
1/4 cup capers
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 (12-ounce) container tomatoes on the vine
4 to 6 sprigs fresh, cleaned dill
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Add cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, dill, and chives to a bowl. Mix to combine.
To make whitefish salad: Whisk mayonnaise with lemon zest and juice until combined. Add whitefish, celery, and onions, and mix gently until combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
To serve: Scatter arugula or watercress on a large platter. Loosely fold lox and place over greens. Add bowls of cream cheese, whitefish salad and capers, then fill in empty areas with red onion, vine tomatoes, fresh dill and lemon wedges.
