Our easy and delicious warm potato salad with smoked mackerel recipe proves that salad doesn't have to be boring or drenched in calorific dressings to make it palatable.
This warm potato salad with smoked mackerel recipe is so easy to make. Potato salad is the best side dish for mackerel as it cuts through the saltiness of the smoked fish. Not only that this recipe is easy to make and on the table in only 15 minutes - great for a mid-week dinner! A portion of this warming salad works out at only 487 calories per portion. The tangy homemade dressing uses only two ingredients and will really add a depth of flavour to your plate. With a handful or two of sliced beetroot, you've got yourself one filling lunch or light summer dinner. The smoked mackerel salad will keep in the fridge for a couple of days so you can have leftovers for lunch too.
