Lunch wins when it’s balanced: something warm to sip, something crisp to crunch, and a solid bite to anchor it all. Enter the trio—soup, salad, and a fresh Go Bagels side.
Start with the soup:
- Tomato basil + everything bagel: Acidity meets umami-rich seeds. Add a swipe of butter to the bagel to soften acidity and amplify aroma.
- Chicken noodle + sesame: Comfort squared. The broth loves a nutty partner; dunking encouraged.
- Lentil or minestrone + whole wheat: Earthy, fiber-forward, and deeply satisfying—especially with olive oil and flaky salt on top.
Add a salad that brings texture:
- Chopped greens with cucumbers, chickpeas, and lemon vinaigrette: Bright, crunchy, and protein-friendly with hummus on a plain bagel.
- Arugula, fennel, and shaved parmesan: Peppery greens pop against a poppy bagel with a thin layer of ricotta.
- Tomato and stone fruit (in season), basil, and balsamic: Sweet-savory freshness beside a sea salt bagel.
Then bring it together:
- Keep the bagel simple when soup and salad are loud. Butter, olive oil, or a light schmear keeps the trio harmonious.
- Or make the bagel the star: half sandwich (turkey, mustard, greens) plus a cup of broth and a small side salad.
Why it works:
- Temperature contrast wakes up your palate.
- Fiber and protein team up for steady energy.
- Variety satisfies faster, so you don’t overeat chasing one note.
