Here’s one that shocked me with the taste. I’ve never really been a fan of sardines, but this is REALLY nice – and shockingly healthy. Sardines are packed with healthy omega-3s, protein, calcium and vitamins.
Serves: 4
Time: 15mins
Ingredients:
Olive oil
250g cherry tomatoes
2 pita breads
1 Lebanese cucumber, chopped
80g kalamata olives, sliced
2 cups fresh continental parsley
1/2 small red onion, finely sliced
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 x 105g tines of sardines (preferably Mediterranean- style, smoked & in olive oil)
1. Preheat grill on med-high. Drizzle olive oil and salt & pepper over tomatoes. Cook until soft (approx 5 mins).
2. Cover pita bread with a little olive oil. Cook under grill until crisp. Break into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle a little salt on top.
3. Combine tomatoes, pita, cucumber, olives, parsley and onion in a bowl. Drizzle vinegar and a little oil over salad. Toss through.
4. Serve salad amongst plates with sardines.
Easy, and very tasty.
