Mackerel Nicoise

It's a slight twist on a classic French salad and is our number 1 go-to dish for a simple, summer's lunch.

You will need:

• 200g smoked mackerel fillets
• 100g Cornish new potatoes
• 2 eggs
• 2 plum tomatoes roughly chopped
• 2 hearts of little gem lettuce
• 1/2 red onion finely sliced
• Large handful of french beans
• Small handful pitted black olives

For the dressing:

• 1 tsp Nature Kitchen Herb Salt
• 1 clove garlic (crushed)
• 3/4 tsp mustard powder
• 1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 5 tbsp olive oil
• Handful of fresh chopped parsley
• A pinch of cracked black pepper

Directions:

1) Cook the Cornish new potatoes and French beans in boiling, salted water until tender.

2) Cook the eggs in boiling water for 3 minutes then plunge into ice water to preserve the soft centre.

3) Assemble the lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and olives in a bowl then add the warm french beans and potatoes.

4) Mix together all the ingredients for the dressing and drizzle over the salad; toss the salad to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

5) Top the salad with the soft boiled eggs and large flakes of smoked mackerel.
