Tips:

- Choose high-quality sardines.: Opt for canned sardines packed in olive oil for a richer taste. If possible, use boneless and skinless sardines for a smoother texture.

- Chill the mixture.: After mixing all the salad ingredients, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together nicely.

- Toast the bread.: Toasting the bread slices will add a crunchy texture to the sandwich and help prevent it from getting soggy.

- Customize your veggies.: Feel free to add or replace vegetables according to your preference. Bell peppers, avocados, or radishes could be great additions.

- Use fresh lemon juice and zest.: Freshly squeezed lemon juice and freshly grated lemon zest will provide a brighter and more vibrant flavor compared to bottled lemon juice.

Your Sardine Salad Sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed! This flavorful and healthy sandwich is sure to become a regular favorite. Pair it with a side of fresh fruit or a light soup for a complete meal.
