Ingredients
  • FOR THE DRESSING (makes 1 cup):
  • ½ cup of olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp - 1 Tbls raw honey
  • 1 large shallot, chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic, chopped
  • 1 Tbls spicy brown, or dijon, mustard
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 1 can of sardines (I used boneless, skinless in olive oil but I imagine that sardines in water or even smoked would be delicious as well!)
  • 3 radishes, chopped
  • 3-4 whole cooked artichoke hearts, cut into quarters (fresh, frozen or marinated in a jar is ok)
  • About 4-6 cups of chopped romaine lettuce
Instructions
  1. Put all the salad dressing ingredients into a glass measuring cup or a large mason jar. If you have a hand blender, gently pulse the mixture together until it is a creamy consistency. If you don't have a hand blender, you can use a stand blender just as easily.
  2. Assemble your salad. On a bed of chopped romaine lettuce sprinkle your radish pieces and artichoke hearts.
  3. Open your tin of sardines, and use a fork to break apart the fish onto your salad.
  4. Top with the lemon shallot dressing.
