Background
I always keep smoked mackerel in the fridge, partly because it’s an oily fish (so very healthy) but also because it’s such a useful ingredient for quick and easy dishes. This smoked mackerel salad took me only 5 minutes to throw together - it was perfect for lunch. I used smoked mackerel with crushed peppercorns from Tesco, but any other spiced or just preserved mackerel would work well too.
Ingredients
- 2 handful of baby salad leaves
- 1 slice of smoked mackerel fillet, skin removed
- 1 handful cherry tomatoes
- 1 handful green or black olives (pitted)
- ½ raw beetroot
- 2 spring onions
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Scatter the salad leaves onto a platter.
- Flake the fish into bite-sized chunks. Grate the beetroot. Slice the spring onions and cut the tomatoes in half.
- Add the fish, olives, spring onions, beetroot to the salad, toss.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil and balsamic vinegar.
