Recipe by Chef Andrew Zimmern

This Sardine Salad with Butter Lettuce and Fresh Herbs, developed by Emmy and James Beard award-winning chef and TV personality Andrew Zimmern, proves that sardines deserve the same classic salad treatment as tuna. Wild Planet's sustainable sardine fillets combine with crisp celery, fresh herbs, and bright citrus to create a refined salad that's both elegant enough to plate and simple enough to make on a weeknight. The key lies in the generous use of fresh tarragon and dill, which provide the aromatic counterbalance that makes sardines shine.
