½ cup white beans, rinsed
- 2 cups arugula or mixed greens
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp capers
- Red onion, thinly sliced
- Salt, pepper
Directions
- Build bowl: arugula base → white beans → cherry tomatoes → red onion.

Add cubed avocado.
- Whisk olive oil and lemon juice for dressing. Drizzle over bowl.
- Add capers and season with salt and pepper.
Notes
If you’ve never tried sardines, start with the ones packed in olive oil — they’re much milder and richer than water-packed. Sardines are one of the highest EPA+DHA omega-3 sources available, with zero mercury risk (they’re too small to accumulate it).
