Smoked mackerel pasta salad with a lemon yogurt dressing




Ingredients

350 g pasta, spirals
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
200 g peppered smoked mackerel fillet
200 g yogurt, such as Onken Natural Set Yogurt
1 tbsp freshly grated horseradish, (from a jar is fine)
1/2 lemon, juice only
1 tbsp snipped fresh chives
50 g cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 little gem lettuce

Method

1. Plunge the pasta into a large pan of boiling salted water and cook for 8-10 minutes or according to packet instructions until ‘al dente’. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Tip into a large bowl and add the spring onions, then flake in the mackerel, discarding the skin.

2. To make the dressing: place the yogurt in a small bowl and stir in the horseradish, lemon juice and chives. Season to taste. Gently fold into the salad and then stir in the tomatoes. Arrange 3-5 gem leaves in the centre of each plate and place the mackerel salad on top and serve at once.
