Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans Canned sardines (in olive oil or water)
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Bread slices (preferably sourdough or whole grain)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for toasting)
Instructions
Open the cans of sardines and drain the excess oil or water. Place the sardines in a mixing bowl and mash them gently with a fork until chunky.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to the sardines. Mix until well incorporated.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice them into thin rounds. Rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each bread slice (if toasting). Place the bread slices butter-side down on the skillet and toast until golden brown. Alternatively, toast the bread in a toaster (without butter).
Lay two slices of toasted bread on a flat surface. Spread a generous amount of the sardine mixture evenly over each slice.
Arrange the lettuce leaves and sliced cherry tomatoes on top of the sardine mixture.
Close the sandwich with the remaining two slices of bread and press lightly. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious sardine sandwiches!
