Smoked mackerel salad with grapefruit

---

After a night of gluttony and another one planned tomorrow, I thought some healthy restraint was in order. This tasty, simple to prepare salad fits the bill perfectly.

This recipe is very similar to a basic South American ceviche.

Ingredients

• 200 g (7 oz) peppered or plain, ready-to-eat smoked mackerel fillets, skinned and chopped roughly
• 100 g (3.5 oz) cooked peeled prawns
• 85 g (3½ oz) dried pasta of choice, cooked, drained and cooled
• 1 small pink grapefruit, peeled and segmented
• 1 100 g (3 ½ oz) pack prepared salad leaves

For the herb dressing

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon clear honey
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 2 spring onions, finely chopped on the diagonal
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• sea salt

Method

1. Place the dressing ingredients into a screw-topped jar and shake well.
2. In a large bowl add the fish, pasta, grapefruit and salad leaves. Pour over the dressing and mix well.
3. Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes
