Lemony Sardine Salad

Delicious Sardines in Organic Olive Oil from Spain

One of my favorite recipes Sardine Salad for your bones with a refreshing lemon flavor.

Oily fish is a superfood and sardines are the unsung heroes of this group. They are rich in selenium and calcium and are an excellent source of omega-3s. They are high in EPA and DHA which are essential fatty acids that perform a multitude of tasks inside your body, including stopping inflammation at a cellular level, breaking down fat cells, and maintaining a healthy hormonal balance.


My kitchen partner created a recipe (found below). As a result my Skelly felt nourished eating her lemony sardine salad for my bones. If you’re wondering who Skelly is, she’s with me in the featured photos on my website.  Maybe you’ve seen us dancing or cooking.  She is also a metaphor for the skeleton in all of us and a symbol for the inner strength you’ll feel when you feed your bones well. 

Remember the sardines must have bones for the calcium.

Ortiz Sardines

The brand I enjoy is Ortiz which comes in a glass bottle of olive oil. You can purchase them on Amazon.com. I drain the olive oil from the jar before I create the recipe. I prefer using my own organic olive oil.

I hope you and your bones enjoy our Lemony Sardine Salad.
