Rinse the lettuce, pat dry, and divide between four plates. Peel the eggs, slice them, and arrange them in two rows (leaving some space between them) on the salad. Drain the sardines in oil, debone them if necessary, and arrange them on top of the eggs, covering them only one-third. Slice the olives and arrange them on top of the eggs as a garnish. For the marinade, mix the lemon juice and oil, season with salt and pepper. Peel, deseed, and finely dice the tomatoes. Peel and finely dice the shallots, or trim, rinse, and finely slice the spring onions. Finely dice the gherkins. Rinse the parsley, shake dry, and finely chop. Mix everything with the marinade and spread it over the sardines. Serve with baguette or ciabatta. Variation: use fresh sardines.
