This salad was the perfect solution. It’s absolutely delicious, so filling and tasty and incredibly cheap to make. I bought the smoked mackerel from Tesco and it was only £2.00 for three fillets. Even though this was a ‘salad’, it felt like a nice fulfilling evening meal and its one I will be making on a regular occasion from now on!

Ingredients

Serves 2 = 10sp each (Flex)

300g new/salad potatoes, halved or quartered depending on their size

Handful of cherry tomatoes, halved

Half a red onion, sliced

Handful of green beans, trimmed and sliced into 3 cm lengths

Bag of mixed salad leaves

2 x 75g smoked mackerel fillet

Four or five slices of pickled beetroot

For the dressing

2 tablespoons of extra light mayonnaise

½ tsp wholegrain mustard

Splash of balsamic vinegar

1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Pop your potatoes on to boil in salted water for around 15-20 minutes (until nice and soft).

Meanwhile pop all your dressing ingredients into a large bowl and mix up. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Chop the rest of your ingredients then take the green beans and pop in a microwaveable bowl. Cover with a 3 tbsp water and pop in the microwave for two and a half minutes so they steam nicely.

Once your potatoes are cooked, drain and pop into the bowl with the dressing and toss everything together. Add your tomatoes, green beans, onion and beetroot and flake in the smoked mackerel. Toss again.

Pop a bed of leaves in the bottom of a bowl and toss a few handfuls through your salad mixture and then pile into your bowls.

Enjoy!
