ReplyDeleteAfter reading this post I went out and bought some sardines and finally made a similar salad tonight - except I used Swiss Chard instead of lettuce. It was delicious! Thanks for sharing this Lori, I am determined to love sardines since I don't eat red meat and need the protein. (Also: sardines are cheap!)
ReplyDeletegood for you! I'm determined as well. though I am very much looking forward to alaskan salmon season
