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.
