Preparation

Step 1
Put 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a bowl. Core and peel the apples, cut them into thin slices, and add them to the bowl, tossing gently to coat with lemon juice. Add romaine lettuce to the bowl, and toss gently again.
Step 2
Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with sugar, salt and pepper, and stir to blend. Add the oil, and beat to mix thoroughly. Taste the dressing, and adjust seasonings as desired.
Step 3
Just before serving, add sardines to the apples, pour on the dressing, and toss the salad gently to coat all ingredients.
