Sardine Salad

Ingredients

• •2 cans sardines, drained
• •2 tbsp pickle relish
• •1 tsp olive oil
• •1/2 tsp garlic powder
• •1/4 tsp black pepper
• •16 saltine crackers or 8 Ritz crackers

Instructions

1. 1

   Drain the sardines and place them in a medium bowl.

2. 2

   Mash them thoroughly with a fork until you have a rough paste. Some small chunks are fine — you are not making baby food.

3. 3

   Add the pickle relish, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.

4. 4

   Taste and adjust seasoning. You probably do not need salt — the sardines and relish are both salty.

5. 5

   Serve scooped onto crackers. Eat immediately or chill for 30 minutes for a firmer spread.
