Cilantro-lime sardine salad in avocado halves

Try this zesty and nutritious cilantro-lime sardine salad in avocado halves. A refreshing mix of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 1 (3.75-ounce) can boneless skinless sardines packed in oil, drained
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, divided
• 1 ripe avocado
• Salt and pepper
• Salad greens, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mix together the sardines, cilantro, mayonnaise, and 2 1/2 teaspoons of lime juice in a small bowl. Use a fork to blend the ingredients well, and add pepper and a touch of salt to taste, if desired.
2. Slice the avocado in half lengthwise and take out the pit. Utilize a large spoon with a broad, flat bowl to scoop out each avocado half from its peel: glide the tip of the spoon around the perimeter of the avocado to release it, then slide the spoon between the peel and flesh. Keep the back of the spoon as near to the peel as possible, and move from the wider to the narrower end of the avocado. Massage each half with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice.
3. For serving, distribute half of the sardine mixture into the center of each avocado. Optionally, serve on top of mixed salad greens.
