Greek salad with sardines

It might be weird for you!

I saw this Greek salad recently and never tried any kind of protein with this salad before, so I said let me try it!

Sardines are one of the richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically DHA and EPA, linked with mental health. Omega-3 is a great remedy for heart diseases, depression and promoting healthy brain development..

 

Sardines: 1, 95 mg omega3/ 100g

Back to our salad, the fresh elements of Greek salad, tomato, cucumber, feta cheese, olives and lemony vinaigrette pair well with rich tasting sardines.

PS:

Look for sardines with skin and bones as they have more than 4 times the amount of calcium as skinless and boneless sardines.
