🧅 1/4 onion, diced
🌶️ 1 jalapeño, chopped
🍋 2 limes
🥑 1 avocado
🧂 Salt, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Open the can of sardines and drain excess sauce. Gently break the sardines into smaller pieces using a fork.

Cooking Tips:

• To enhance the flavor, allow the salad to rest for a few minutes after mixing. This will let the flavors meld together more thoroughly.
• Adjust the amount of jalapeño according to your spice preference. Removing the seeds will lessen the heat.
• For a creamier texture, mash some avocado while mixing.
