HOLISTIC CHEF EDDIE'S TIP OF THE DAY #82

After that cruise I went on this week, I have been eating super clean with my wheatgrass juice in the morning; my decaffeinated green tea; my green juice and a dinner with no additives or sugar in the food to make it "taste good".  I made myself a delicious, high protein LEMON-HERB SARDINE SALAD.  It's funny but I always have canned wild salmon, wild tuna and sardines in the cupboard and I forget about them.  I'm so glad to have made this beautiful salad.  It hit the spot.  So simple.  Sardines are one of the highest sources of Vitamin B12 on the planet which is so important in supporting cardiovascular health.  It is also high in Omega-3 Fatty Acids to help prevent heart disease.  A nice cup of soup and the Lemon-Herb Sardine Salad is a complete meal, so delicious and so nutritious.  Enjoy!!!

​          LEMON-HERB SARDINE SALAD

2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon grated Lemon Zest
Juice of one Lemon
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1 Tablespoon Capers (I love capers and olives)
2 Tablespoons chopped Fresh Parsley
​1 Tablespoon chopped Fresh Tarragon
2 ribs finely chopped Celery
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 cans Wild Sardines in Olive Oil
1 bunch chopped Romaine Lettuce for serving

1)  In a small bowl combine Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Lemon Zest, the Juice of one Lemon and Dijon Mustard.  Set aside.
2)  In a large bowl, add the chopped Lettuce, Celery, Capers, Parsley and Tarragon.  Toss well.  Season with Salt and Pepper to taste.
3)  When serving, dish out the contents of the large bowl into a large plates.  Carefully place the whole Sardines on top of each salad and pour the dressing on top of that.  Quick and easy.  Bon Appetit!!!
