First off, one serving of canned sardines has almost 100% of the daily recommended intake of omega-3s, which are associated with tons of positive health benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids are good for heart health, and known to help prevent things like hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver. What's even better is that research suggests that the other nutrients and minerals found in sardines - including calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc - may work together with omega-3s to produce better results than supplements alone.
A staple of summertime picnics, deli platters, and more, coleslaw is a delightfully zingy accompaniment to a number of different meals. A standard coleslaw is usually made with a mix of shredded cabbage and carrots tossed in a dressing of mayonnaise, lemon juice, and vinegar, and accented by a sprinkle of sugar, salt, and pepper. Of course, there are plenty of ways to boost the flavor of your coleslaw for an even more pleasing dish.
