Greek Salad with Sardines

High in omega-3 fatty acids, sardines are a good choice for a quick, heart-healthy meal.

1/3 cup fresh lemon or lime juice
2 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh dill
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small red onion, chopped
6 cups mixed salad greens
2 cans (3 3/4 ounces each) sardines packed in water, drained
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 In a food processor, combine the lemon juice, oil, dill, mint, salt, and pepper. Puree until smooth.

2 Transfer the dressing to a large bowl. Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion. Toss to combine.

3 Spoon the cucumber mixture and dressing over the salad greens. Scatter the sardines and feta on top.
