In a bowl, combine 1 cup of olive tapenade with a whole can of sardines, including the olive oil from the can.

Gently mix the sardines into the tapenade without breaking them up too much.

In a separate bowl, add 4 cups of chopped cabbage, 1 blanched tomato (seeds and skin removed), 1 stalk of chopped celery, and 1 grated carrot.

Mix the vegetables together gently.

Add the sardine tapenade on top of the mixed vegetables.

Zest a lemon and add the zest along with about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Add 1 tablespoon of Carlson's cod liver oil and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil to taste.

Mix all ingredients together gently and serve.
