Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Arepa — An Elevated Gluten-Free On-the-Go Lunch

Everything a bagel with lox gives you — cream cheese, smoked salmon, red onion — on a warm arepa instead. This is the on-the-go lunch that feels like a treat and keeps you full all afternoon. Five minutes, no cooking, completely portable.

Ingredients

• 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
• 3 tbsp cream cheese
• 2 oz smoked salmon
• 2 thin red onion rings
• Capers and fresh dill (optional)

How to Make It

1. Warm arepas in toaster or dry skillet 1–2 minutes.
2. Spread cream cheese generously over each arepa.
3. Layer smoked salmon over cream cheese.
4. Add red onion rings.
5. Top with capers and dill if using. Wrap and go.

Why It Works

Smoked salmon is already fully cured — no cooking required, and it travels safely for a few hours in a cooler bag. This is the on-the-go lunch for parents and adults who want something beyond a basic sandwich without adding any extra prep time.
