As long as I can remember, I have loved eating sardines! Whether they’re spicy, lemony, tomatoey, or just in oil, I think they’re delicious right out of the can. I can remember eating them on crackers for lunch occasionally as a child. They were never Mom’s favorite, so she never made a point of serving them! 😉
Not only do I love sardines, but I also love tuna salad–so combining the two was a delicious idea, I thought! The addition of chopped pickles makes this sardine salad even better. 🥒 Even my non-sardine-loving Mom likes this salad. 👏
This salad can be whipped up in a whopping 15 minutes! Eat it as an appetizer on crackers, or spread it on bread for a lunchtime sandwich. It also tastes fantastic with a best-ever Caesar mocktail! 😍
