Okay, I will do my best to have an actual "entree" from like, you know... dinner, but here is my lunch today and I thought it had a nice flavor and textural contrast. It's a pretty tried and true combination of flavors. Just missing the onions (cuz I hate raw onion):

Ingredients:

1. Toasted challah bread

2. St. Andre triple cream cheese

3. Smoked salmon

4. Cracked pepper

5. Capers

= Awesomeness.

Crunch of the toasted challah, soft crunch of the caper berries contrasting with the soft cheese and salmon. Worth noting that this dish doesn't work without the capers. I also will sometimes use those little mini pickles called cornichons instead of capers.
