Marinated Tomato and Sardine Salad - 21g Carbs, 9g Fiber

From: Dr. Weil

This low-carb salad is particularly good when plump,

garden-fresh tomatoes are in season. Serve it at room

temperature for best flavor. We're providing the

nutritional information for the salad using 1/2 can of

water-packed sardines. Feel free to use a whole can for

one serving if you're less concerned with calories than

with healthy eating. Sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty

acids and are surprisingly low in sodium and saturated fat.

Serving: 1

1 large ripe tomato (preferably organic)

1/2 can sardines (water-packed)

1/4 cup basil leaves, finely chopped

1 tsp olive oil, extra virgin

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

1 tsp garlic, finely chopped

You can use the tomato as is (unpeeled and with seeds) but the

salad is better if you peel the tomato after plunging it briefly

in boiling water, and then remove the seeds. This reduces the

water in the finished salad. Cut the tomato pulp into large chunks.

Mix together the dressing ingredients (olive oil, balsamic vinegar,

fresh garlic) and stir in the chopped basil leaves. Add the drained

sardines and the tomato chunks.

Serve at room temperature, on a bed of salad greens or spinach.
