Ingredients
For the Salad
- 1 can white beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 cans sardines (4.5 oz cans in olive oil, roughly chopped in large chunks)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1 to 2 jalapenos (chopped, seeds removed if you don't want the heat)
- 1 cup fresh Italian parsley (chopped)
For the Dressing
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 lime (zested and juiced)
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- 1 to 2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes
Instructions
- To make the dressing, combine the mustard, lime zest and juice, garlic, sumac, and Aleppo, and a good dash of kosher salt and black pepper in a small mixing bowl. Whisk, and while whisking vigorously, drizzle in 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, until emulsified.
- In a large bowl, combine the beans, sardines, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and parsley. Toss gently to combine.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
Notes
- This recipe will serve 4 people for lunch with your favorite crusty bread. It can serve more as an appetizer or side.
- For best flavor, use quality, wild-caught sardines packed in olive oil. I shared more about this above, but a couple options I have used are Wild Planet and King Oscar.
