Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients, including sardines, green onions, garlic, capers, parsley, olive oil, and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.
  • Gently mash the sardines until they break up. Incorporate the chopped green onions, minced garlic, capers, and parsley, mixing until evenly combined.
  • Decide on the texture you prefer! Keep it chunky for a rustic feel, or mash more for a smoother consistency.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the mixture, then squeeze in fresh lemon juice, tossing everything until well-coated.
  • Spoon the salad onto crackers, onto a sandwich, or serve in a bowl. Enjoy immediately or let it meld in the fridge.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with extra parsley or a splash of hot sauce for added flavor.
