Author Notes

There is a great little cafe near me that does these wonderful open faced sandwiches. Normally, I can't eat any of them because they always have onions, eggs, cheese and/or regular bread, but that doesn't prevent me from eyeing up their breakfast selection. Finally I got so desperate I asked them if I could do a custom order, and they obliged! So this was the result. —nycnomad

  • Serves 2

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Capers

In This Recipe
Directions
  1. Using a mandolin or very sharp knife slice the cucumber, radishes and fennel into very thin slices (shaved). Place them in a bowl.
  2. Trim the tops of the watercress and add it to the salad, making sure that you have cut it up a bit to make it easier to eat, otherwise you may get half the sandwich with a single bite.
  3. Add freshly ground salt and pepper, the capers, dress with olive oil and squeeze the juice from 1/2 lemon over the salad.
  4. Toss lightly and set aside while you assemble the tartine.
  5. Slice the bagels, rolls or prepare your bread as desired. I use a gluten free roll made with tapioca (manioca) flour. Place a couple of tablespoons of salad onto the base. Lay a couple of slices of smoked salmon on top of each tartine. Snip a few sprigs of fennel fronds for decoration if you like and then plate!
