    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       03/28/2019   This is very tasty as is, but in my opinion, even better if you make it with 1 can of sardines in olive oil (Trader Joe's is yummy) and 1/2 of a can of chick peas. The combination of the herbs and chick peas with the vinaigrette over baby lettuce is outstanding and it also lends a heartiness that the sardines alone cannot. I've used dried tarragon (about 1 tsp) when fresh isn't available but the fresh parsley is a must. I usually eat the entire recipe made this way for dinner; it's refreshing and goes nicely with a glass of white wine.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/26/2013   I guess tuna it is?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/26/2013   what other rich fish can we replace the sardine with? Im also not a big fan of mackerel... suggestions?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       02/20/2013   i'm obsessed with this recipe- as another person said this is my new tuna salad. i want to eat this every day!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/17/2013   I really tried to like this salad and most of the flavors I do enjoy. I couldn't get passed the sardines though. I probably should have used skinless and the package said boneless, but I still found some spine in there. Gross. I thought they were skinless too, but by the time I was home and opened them to find skin I decided it was too late. I can't finish it though. For me it was a mind thing more than a flavor issue.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/15/2013   I was very sceptical about this one and to my suprise I really liked it. I read the reviews on it and I thought , just think tuna. I didn't have capers but I will try this again with the capers. I very excited about doing a fish salad without mayonnaise. This is my new tuna salad :). Haven't found a recipe that do not like yet on this detox.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/09/2013   I was surprised at how good this was! I loved the tangy dijon mustard dressing. I'm not a big fan of celery, but I diced it up pretty finely and it added just the right crunch. I plan to keep this on my lunch menu rotation even after I'm done with the cleanse.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/04/2013   Wow! I am pleasantly surprised at this recipe. Very light, refreshing, and tasty! I was always afraid of tinned sardines (such a bad reputation) but loved tuna in a can. This really tastes like a nicer tuna...and the lemon and herbs compliment the flavors nicely.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/30/2013   I feel I have to stand up for this recipe. To my surprise, it's one of my favorite things on the cleanse! Sardines are full of Omega-3s & calcium (the bones are left in). They also don't have heavy metals or sustainability issues that fish like tuna have. In this recipe, the lemon, mustard & capers balance the fishiness with bright acid, flavor & salt. The celery adds crunch that distracts from the fishy texture. I will be making this all summer long!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/28/2013   What is the best suggestion for me since I dislike ALL seafood?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/23/2013   I will be using TUNA! I don't like sardines either. Tried them recently, didn't like them. But I am tempted to try again.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/21/2013   What can be substituted for the sardines? I cannot eat them. Tuna?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/18/2013   This is a tasty salad for anyone who likes sardines and I do! I used the wild caught lemon olive oil sardines and will use this combo again!
