Wild Planet Wild Sardines: Sardine & Avocado Snackers and Wild Sardines Potato Salad with Wasabi Tarrago Mayo

Today's recipes feature wild sardines from Wild Planet, who sent me a coupon to sample their products. I have been choosing Wild Planet brand for canned tuna for quite some time, as the seafood that Wild Planet uses is sustainably caught, all natural, and loaded with nutrients such as Omega 3s. So, I was thrilled to try their wild sardines, using it in two different recipes.

Sardine & Avocado Snackers were a terrific appetizer, perfect for the approaching holiday parties.

I also made a delicious Wild Sardines Potato Salad with Wasabi Tarrago Mayo.
