The BEST-EVER Sardine Salad Sandwich | CRAZY Good 10 Minute Recipe

This Sardine Salad Sandwich is packed with flavors, made with simple everyday ingredients and done within minutes with absolutely no cooking on the stovetop. Serve it next to a handful of chips and a couple ice-cold beers for the ultimate treat.

To make this sandwich, I used Spanish canned sardines in olive oil. The sardines I used had bones in them, which are edible and add more nutrients and flavors to the sardines. However, if you prefer, you can easily remove the bones.

For the bread, I used whole wheat sandwich bread. You can use whatever type of bread you like. The most important thing is to make sure you lightly toast the bread. That way, once you add the sardine salad, it doesn’t get mushy and break apart.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You can serve this sandwich at room temperature or even chilled. The sardine salad will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
