Pesto Sardines 3

 Sardines are a nutrient dense food packed full of vitamins, minerals and healthy fats. These little beauties are made from fresh sardines. They are then stuffed with a vibrant spinach pesto and put under the broiler. They make great snacks, salad toppers, or can be eaten on their own. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top and you will be hooked.
