Smoked Mackerel Salad

Smoked Mackerel Salad

iceberg lettuce (shredded)
red onion
green beans
black olives
chickpeas (leftovers)
a little grated carrot (leftover)
grated lemon rind
fresh parsley
vinaigrette using rapeseed oil, a little walnut oil, white wine vinegar and garlic
black pepper
smoked mackerel fillets

This was a surprisingly tasty concoction of leftovers that needed to be used up before the weekend (green beans from dinner a couple of nights ago and shredded lettuce, chickpeas and grated carrot from previous lunches this week). I took inspiration from the french nicoise salad to make a tasty little salad replacing the tuna with smoked mackerel - something I adore! I was going to put a boiled egg in there too but it ended up being quite a big salad and since the aim was to use up leftovers, i didn't want to make so much that I was left with even more leftovers of the salad! Only one snack for today (big lunch) - a juicy plum.

Now, off to get ready for the weekend - hooray!
