sardine salad with tomatoes and capers

~ aplotzi

This is a delicious Spanish salad incorporates all the flavours I love. The caper dressing cuts through the oiliness of the sardines as do the tomatoes and onions. The sardines can be barbecued for extra flavour too. I serve it as a starter or a side dish with toasted sourdough bread drizzled in olive oil. It’s perfect summer food and very easy to prepare as I buy ready filleted butterflied sardines from my supermarket.

It’s also perfect with my healthy fries.

Ingredients:

12 sardines (cleaned and filleted and butterflied)
5 large tomatoes sliced

How:

Place the sardines on a plate or plates with the tomatoes and onions on one side and pour the dressing over. Eat straight away.
