This recipe is a super easy spicy salad recipe that is made with either canned sardines, pilchards or mackerel. Be sure to get the ones that come in the tomato sauce as this balances the flavour of the salad. You might think that using canned fish doesn’t sound too good, but it really works well in this recipe!
We have had a lot of requests from subscribers for low calories dishes that are easy to make, and this definitely meets those requirements. This salad took us less than 10 minutes to make, including preparing all of the ingredients, and there is no frying involved! 🙂
