If using, wash and prepare your salad greens and slice the red onion.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken, diced cucumber, and chopped brined tomatoes.
Gently add the drained sardines to the bowl. Try not to break them up too much if you prefer larger pieces.
In a small cup or bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice or vinegar, a pinch of salt (be cautious as ingredients are salty), and pepper to make a simple dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken, sardine, and vegetable mixture. Add the optional salad greens and red onion now if using.
Gently toss everything together until well combined.
Serve immediately and enjoy your surprisingly adventurous dinner!
💡 Pro Tips:
- 🥗 For extra crunch, add some toasted croutons or nuts! (If your budget allows! 😉)
- 🧊 Chill the salad ingredients separately before combining for an extra refreshing bite, especially on a warm evening. Ahhh! 😎
- 🫙 The brined tomato liquid can be a base for your dressing – just add oil and a splash of vinegar for a tangy kick! Don't waste that salty goodness! 👍
