1. Boil the potatoes for 12-15 mins until just tender. Meanwhile, flake the mackerel fillets into large pieces and cut the beetroot into bite-size chunks.
2. Drain the potatoes and cool slightly. Mix the salad dressing and horseradish sauce together in a salad bowl and season. Tip in the potatoes - they should still be warm.
3. Add the salad leaves, mackerel, beetroot, celery and walnuts, and toss gently. Serve with crusty bread.

Make your own salad dressing

If you would like to make your own salad dressing, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp wine vinegar or lemon juice and 1 tsp Dijon or other mild mustard. Season to taste, then mix with the horseradish.

  Delicious dish and easily prepared. Followed the recipe exactly, delighted with the result. The combination was not one I could imagine, but it really works.

  i couldnt agree more, i thought it was an odd choice of things to put together and tried it out of curiosity more than anything , but it was lovely, the crunch of the celery , sweet beetroot meaty mackerel all deliscious. ive since done it as a dinner party starter and it went down a treat.

  I was looking for something to use up beetroot and mackeral but didn't expect to find one dish that would use them together. A very tasty salad and it's now on my list of favorites. Will probably toast the walnuts next time around. I'll certainly make it again.

  This dish is very delicous. All the flavours work so well together. I grill the mackerel and warm up the beetroot. It makes a lovely warming salad in the winter... or any time of year.

  Made this for my parents. They loved it. I left out the horseradish because I forgot to buy it. I made the simple salad dressing stated below the recipe. Will make again!
