This recipe is not only simple but also offers an explosion of tastes that complement each other perfectly.

The history of the bagel is fascinating, as this dish has been popularized in various forms over time. Originally made from boiled and baked dough, the bagel has evolved into various versions and has become a staple food in many cultures. Now, let's turn our attention to our tasty recipe!

Ingredients:
- 1 bagel
- 3-4 slices of bacon, cut in half
- 2 radishes, thinly sliced
- 100 g Delaco cream cheese
- 1 pack of salad mix (red cabbage, carrot, and iceberg)
- 2 tablespoons of canned corn
- 15-20 cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons of fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons of roasted pepper salad with vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste

Step by step, here's how to prepare this culinary delight:

1. Prepare the bagel
Start by slicing the bagel in half lengthwise. Make sure to use a sharp knife for a clean cut.

2. Spread the bagel
Using a spatula, generously spread each half of the bagel with Delaco cream cheese. This cream adds a creamy and rich note that perfectly complements the other ingredients.

3. Add the bacon
The bacon slices provide flavor to this dish. Cook them in a non-stick pan over medium heat until crispy. Then, place the bacon slices on top of the cream cheese.

4. Add the roasted pepper
On top of the bacon, add the roasted pepper. This adds a sweet and smoky note. If you don't have roasted peppers ready, you can roast the pepper in the oven or on the grill until soft and slightly charred.

5. Finish the bagel
Place the top half of the bagel back on, and using the knife, cut it into portions of about 5 cm. Arrange them on a large plate, making sure to leave the center empty.

6. Prepare the salad
In a large bowl, mix the salad mix (red cabbage, carrot, iceberg) with the corn and halved cherry tomatoes. Add the fresh orange juice, olive oil, radishes, salt, and pepper. Mix well so that all the ingredients combine.

7. Assemble the plate
Add the salad to the center of the plate, creating an attractive presentation. This detail will not only look good but also add a contrast of colors.

8. Decorate the bagel
For a playful detail, skewer a cherry tomato with a toothpick (or a skewer) and then insert them into each piece of bagel. This will add a splash of color and make the dish even more appetizing.

9. Enjoy
Now that everything is ready, serve the bagels with the roasted pepper salad on the side. It’s a perfect combination of textures and flavors, ideal to be enjoyed with a glass of fresh orange juice or even a fragrant tea.

Helpful tips:
- If you want to add a touch of freshness, you can add some basil or mint leaves to the salad.
- The cheese variety can be adapted according to taste; you can opt for herb cream cheese or even a mix of feta cheese and yogurt.
- For a vegetarian option, replace the bacon with avocado slices or fried tofu.
