A Delicious Living staff favorite, the Sardine and Sun-Dried Tomato Salad is a quick source of healthy fats.
Serves 4 / Sardines contain the same healthy fats as salmon, at a fraction of the cost. Prep tip: Pairing sardines with tuna tones down their concentrated flavor; adjust the ratio if you like a pronounced taste. Serving tip: For a flavorful twist on tuna melt, spread this salad on sliced French bread, sprinkle with chopped tomatoes and grated Asiago cheese, and broil until bubbly.

1⁄4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
