As is the case with most fish, pilchards fish are a good food choice for the excellent health of your heart. That is because they contain essential oils and minerals that are great for your heart. Combining them here with the lettuce and other vegetables such as freshly picked tomatoes makes this salad absolutely nutritious. On the lettuce you can mix green lettuce and purple leaf lettuce for that color. You can enjoy this as a complete meal on it’s own. Following the trend, you are free to also add microgreens such as sunflower or lettuce (learn to grow here). Well, you have yourself a light, scrumptious meal! And best of all is that it will take less than 5 minutes to prepare.
