Sardines are little nutrient powerhouses. They’re packed with omega 3 essential fatty acids, protein, vitamin D, and iron and the edible bones are loaded with calcium. Sardines are low on the food chain so they have the lowest amount of mercury as any fish, which is basically negligible. Throw out the canned tuna and replace with canned sardines. You’l love how quick and easy this canned sardine salad recipe is. A no-brainer for lunchbox.

Directions
Step 1
Place canned sardines in a bowl. Discard the oil leftover in cans. Mash the fish and bones with a fork until fine and all bones are fully mashed.
Step 2
Add carrots, onion, tomato, and parsley or cilantro to the bowl and mix well. Add vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, and if the salad needs more olive oil, pour a little bit in. Taste to see if it’s to your liking.
Step 3
Garnish with Tabasco or crushed red pepper flakes.
Tip
This will store in the fridge for a few days so that you have quick lunchbox food. Eat plain or in between sourdough sandwich slices.
