Smoked Mackerel and New Potato Salad

  

Lunch Option: Smoked Mackerel and New Potato SaladThis light lunch is perfect to pack and take out on the go. Great for any hard working students who want a change from library sandwiches! Smoked Mackerel is also a fairly cheap option to go with and requires no cooking, you simply tear it up over the salad. The dressing is either light mayonnaise or low fat creme fraiche (depending on preference), meaning you get a nice creamy dressing without the calories.1 x Pack of Mackerel Fish (I bought everyday value here)1 x Pack of New Potatoes4 x Tbsp Low Fat Creme FraicheHandful Green Salad Leaves (per portion)Chopped Chives (Optional)Cracked Black Pepper (Optional)Half/Quarter the New Potatoes and boil for 15 minutes until tender. Then drain.Meanwhile, mix the Creme Fraiche with the Chives and Black Pepper (Optional) and flake the Mackerel* into pieces, mixing half with the dressing along with the drained Potatoes.Place the Green Salad Leaves on the bottom of the plate, then the dressing mixture and finally the leftover Mackerel on top. Add more Black Pepper is you would like!* I suggest you use one Mackerel fish per portion (comes in a pack of 4)It's that simple. An easy, affordable lunch that doesn't take too long to make. Can also be made the night before and kept in the fridge if necessary. Perfect to take out or eat at home!
