Smoked mackerel salad

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.
