Kipper Salad Spread

This post has been sponsored by Little Northern Bakehouse. All opinions expressed are my own.

Kippers on toast is an old-school classic and today we’re giving it a slight twist, making a delectable spread that is perfect for a light meal or mid-afternoon snack when served alongside Little Northern Bakehouse Everything Bagels!

Summer has felt like one long picnic to me- from quick salad bowls to pasta dishes galore, my quarantine recipe repertoire has mostly consisted of accessible pantry staples, and quite honestly, I don’t mind. How has quarantine changed your meal planning?

During the course of these somewhat turbulent/unpredictable months, I’ve come to appreciate two things – bagel seasoning and canned fish. Who knew!

While many of us may be familiar with sardines and anchovies, kippers seem to go unnoticed. (FYI, you can always swap mackerel, tuna fish, or sardines for kippers in today’s recipe if you don’t have them on hand).

Kippers are salted, cold-smoked herring that are packed with heart-healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, calcium, and potassium. They tend to be slightly more popular in England since they are reminiscent of the traditional Edwardian breakfast that would consist of toast, eggs, smoked fish, sausage, and beans, all served of course alongside “a spot of tea”.

Today however, I was inspired to share this underrated ingredient in a spread more suitable for the August-to-Autumn months ahead. This Kipper Sandwich Spread is an elegant and classic salad that may be enjoyed for lunch or as a light dinner.

I am very pleased to be partnering with my friends over at Little Northern Bakehouse once again to create an early fall recipe that can be served and enjoyed during this transitional period of seasons.

Little Northern Bakehouse breads are naturally made with authentic ingredients that you and your family can feel good about enjoying. So whether you are a longtime friend or a new friend to LTG, you know why we love their products. Their breads are non-GMO, with many also being 100% plant-based and vegan. Furthermore, their baked goods are certified gluten and nut free.

All Little Northern Bakehouse products can be found in the freezer section of the grocery store in most natural food retailers, so be sure to check them out today! In the past, we have featured the Sprouted Honey Oat Loaf, Cinnamon & Raisin Loaf (still a favorite breakfast bread of mine), and Whole Grain Wide Slice Loaf, but today I am especially pleased to share their Everything Bagels!

Harkening back to what I said earlier, I have been on an everything bagel kick lately, adding bagel seasoning to a grand variety of dishes; from eggs to pizza. Naturally, I opted to serve Little Northern Bakehouse Everything Bagels for my quick and easy luncheon. I toasted the bagels and served them open-faced. It was a match made in Heaven.

Feel free to get creative with what you garnish on the sandwich. While I prepared mine with red onion, heirloom tomatoes, avocados, cucumbers, and olives to keep things fresh, seasonal, and light you certainly may create your own preference for seasonal garnishes.

And voilà! Now you’re ready to head outdoors and enjoy the lasting golden days of the season with this easy-to-create picnic spread!

    Catherine, No one here in East Tennessee except for immigrants from northern states would have a clue what a ‘kipper’ was. While I’ve never had kipper salad, my stepfather was from Scotland and he introduced me to “Blind Robins”, salty and somewhat odiferous dried kipper snacks. Stay Safe and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    We don’t eat much fish in our house because my daughter is allergic. But I could see myself adding this to my lunch rotation when she goes back to school and I go back to work. This is my kind of lunch!

    I love bagels but not a fish eater but my husband loves it. I had no idea about Kippers. Will have to make him some of these salted, cold-smoked herring salad. Looks delish and it is packed with heart-healthy fats! Love it!!

    Wow… that does look and sound so good. I love this and will give it a try as it sounds so good and is also good for you. I have not heard of Kippers before but will be on the lookout for them the next time I head to the store.
