Ingredients

  • 1 slice bread (large, I use homemade plain bread)
  • 1 can sardines (I use Wild Pacific sardines in extra virgin olive oil, lightly smoked, 4.4 oz)
  • 1 avocado (ripe)
  • 1/2 onion (small, red, sliced)
  • salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)

Yield: 2 sandwiches | Prep time: 7 minutes |

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent any fishy odor from spreading to other foods. However, the avocado may brown quickly, so it's best to enjoy these sardine sandwiches fresh. For the best taste and freshness, consume within a few hours.

Instructions

1. Cut a large slice of bread in half. Toast if desired.

2. In a small bowl, use a fork to mash a ripe avocado.
