Keto Cucumber Sardine Stacks

These sardine stacks are perfect for snacking or as a light lunch option, these stacks offer a refreshing and satisfying combination of crisp cucumber slices and savory sardine salad.

Using cucumber slices are easy, refreshing, and crunchy but if you prefer something different, try using our keto pesto crackers. And as always, if you aren’t a fan of sardines or you want to mix things up, you definitely can! Use canned tuna instead, use some chopped gherkins, or add sauerkraut for different tastes and textures.
