| (Boneless) Smoked Mackerel, Egg & New Potato Salad with lemon & pepper yoghurt mayonnaise dressing |
This delicious combination of sweetly savoury smoked fish, waxy new potatoes and brightly yolked hard-boiled eggs is low in fat but high in satisfaction.
The Lunch Club thought the combination of ingredients unusual but wonderful. And the smoked mackerel made a change from the usual expensive fresh white fish or salmon for their twice-a-week fish meals.
The dish requires little cooking, can be prepared the night before and assembled on the day.
Being very conscious of salt levels, 67goingon50 prefers the loose mackerel fillets available at fishmongers. Another good choice is M&S smoked mackerel, often on sale for 3 pkts for £7. Other food experts rate Sainsbury's smoked mackerel highly, and Waitrose fillets are good value.
New potatoes are wonderful right now but can be replaced with ordinary potatoes.
Serves: 4-6
Cost: about £4.50 (for the frugal, decrease the amount of fish, use ordinary potatoes and add an extra egg or two)
