Spicy Sardine Vege Salad

Today is Father's Day and it reminds me of the many dishes my father liked.  This sardine salad was one of his favourites.  I had prepared this dish on this day just to remember the times when he would request for it especially when my mum isn't cooking any fish dish for dinner.

A tasty salad which is not difficult to prepare.  Add more small hot chillies if you prefer it to be spicier.
