Looking for an easy appy that’s truly healthy? Reach for a can of sardines, a source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and bone-boosting calcium. Sustainably caught, they also have the lowest levels of mercury compared to other fish. Once doused with dill, cream cheese and lemon, any funky fishiness fades into a yummy creamy spread. Even kids who like tuna might give this a try!
Topping (optional): chopped chives
- Place sardines, cream cheese and dip mixes in a large bowl.
- Finely grate in 1 tsp lemon peel. Cut lemon in half; squeeze in juice.
- Pour in oil. Using a fork, stir to combine. Taste and season with pepper.
- Add chives, if desired. Excellent with toasted baguette slices or crackers.
