Yay! Another way to enjoy sardines! I know I talked about sardines a lot in the past, but it’s only because they are SO good for you! I know a lot of people don’t like sardines — I used to be one of them, but after learning how amazing these little guys are for your health, I decided to make an effort to learn to enjoy them. This salad is a great recipe to make these things as tasty as can be!
Before turning up your nose at sardines, take a look at some of the health benefits they have to offer!
On top of that, due to their small size, they don’t absorb as many toxins and heavy metals from the water they live in as larger fish do, and so are the least contaminated form of fish that we can consume. Seriously, if you can learn to enjoy sardines, you are doing your body a HUGE favor! Alright, I’ll stop gabbing about sardines now and get to the salad recipe.
