Sardine Spread

Image
  Sardines are one of the most nutrient-dense types of seafood, providing a high dose of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, bioavailable calcium, and many other micronutrients. That being said, many people have difficulty motivating themselves to eat canned, bone-in sardines. This recipe makes sardines more enjoyable by transforming them into a spread that you can eat with plantain chips, cucumber slices, or inside a wrap. In addition, this recipe is super quick and easy to put together! Ingredients: - 3 ozs sardines (in oil, drained) - 1 ½ tbsps mayonnaise (I recommend using Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Mayonnaise) - 2 ½ tbsps apple cider vinegar - ½ cucumber, sliced Instructions: 1. In a bowl, mash together the sardines, mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar. 2. Serve alongside plantain chips, cucumber slices, or other sliced vegetables (bell pepper slices would be good too). Enjoy!
