Having the perfect bagel and cream cheese is no simple thing. For people who take their morning bagels seriously (you know who you are), they require the perfect combination of ingredients to make up their ideal sandwich. This, by the way, includes the bagel itself being perfectly toasted and freshly baked, but that’s for another article. In any case, if you’re going for a classic cream cheese bagel sandwich, these are the three ideal vegetables you want to go with it.

Cucumber

You need that crunch. Cucumbers are one of the most healthiest veggies out there, and they’re just as popular. We believe this is case because of its subtlety. Cucumbers never try to steal the show, rather just support the main attraction.

Onion

Every sandwich that isn’t inherently bitter needs a little bit of a kick. Onions are the best solution for this, provided you don’t put too many, lest you overdo it. It’s also another source of texture and crunch.

Tomato

Finally, a good old fashioned tomato is the perfect third veggie for a cream cheese bagel sandwich. Unlike the cucumber, tomatoes are bursting with flavor, but the exact kind that complements your cream cheese with reverence and love.
