Ingredients
1 can white beans (drained and rinsed)
2 cans sardines (4.5 oz cans in olive oil, roughly chopped in large chunks)
1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
2 green onions (chopped)
1 to 2 jalapenos (chopped, seeds removed if you don't want the heat)
1 cup fresh Italian parsley (chopped)
For the Dressing
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 lime (zested and juiced)
1 to 2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 teaspoon sumac
1 to 2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes
Instructions
To make the dressing, combine the mustard, lime zest and juice, garlic, sumac, and Aleppo, and a good dash of kosher salt and black pepper in a small mixing bowl. Whisk, and while whisking vigorously, drizzle in 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, until emulsified.
In a large bowl, combine the beans, sardines, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and parsley. Toss gently to combine.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
