2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small red onion, chopped
6 cups mixed salad greens
2 cans (3 3/4 ounces each) sardines packed in water, drained
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 In a food processor,
combine the lemon juice, oil, dill, mint, salt, and pepper. Puree
until smooth.

to a large bowl. Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion. Toss to
combine.
