- 1If sardines are not pre-grilled, grill them over medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes per side until cooked through. Let them cool slightly, then flake the flesh, discarding bones and skin.

Make the dressing

- 2Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Assemble the salad
- 1Gently combine the flaked sardines, sliced onions, bell peppers, and chopped parsley in a serving bowl.
- 2Pour the dressing over the sardine mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients.
- 3Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
