Spanish Tomato & Sardine Salad | HEALTHY & Delicious 10 Minute Recipe

This Spanish Tomato & Sardine Salad, known as Ensalada de Tomate y Sardinas, is filled with Mediterranean flavors, made with simple ingredients and all done in just 10 minutes. Enjoy it as a tapas appetizer or even as a light dinner, next to a crunchy baguette and a bottle of Spanish wine.

You can serve this salad either at room temperature or even chilled. Just cover with saran wrap and add into the fridge. It will hold for up to 3 to 4 days. Alternatively, you can make the dressing ahead of time and then pour over the salad when ready to serve.

For the sardines I used Spanish canned sardines in olive oil. However, you can use other types of canned sardines. To make the dressing, I used the olive oil from the canned sardines. If you use sardines in water, just use extra virgin olive oil to make the dressing.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I used a mortar & pestle to make the dressing. You can also use a handheld blender, food processor or even a nutribullet. I didn´t season the salad with salt, just the dressing, as the canned sardines already contain salt. If you like, you can pinch in a little salt over the tomatoes.
