  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!

  This is a lovely recipe. We made it with frozen mackerel which we grilled and then flaked while the new potatoes were cooling. Also substituted spring onions for celery as my other half wont eat it. Will be great cooked like this on a summer BBQ.

  I love this salad, it's my lunchbox favourite. Horseraddish really finishes the whole thing nicely. I skipped on the cellery, though as i dont like it

  I loved the combination of beetroot and walnuts but felt it could have done with a good dose of black pepper. Maybe the horseradish sauce that I bought wasn't hot enough? I have also made a vegetarian version of this using lightly fired Marinated Tofu instead of mackerel - it works really well.

  Really enjoyed this but it was far too much for two - would easily do 3 and possibly 4, especially with the crusty bread.

  Ha ha - just checked and it says for 4 - no wonder there was too much!! Really nice though and first time I have had a go at my own dressing which was easier than I thought.

  Very nice - I missed out the potatoes and roasted fresh beetroot and grilled the mackerel instead to warm it up. I replaced the walnuts with sunflower and pumpkin seeds. I also added fresh tomatoes, raw radishes and used watercress/rocket - the peppery taste worked well.

  I made this without beetroot, and swapped celery and walnuts for sauteed leeks and hazelnuts. My husband and I thought it was lovely - the kids were not so keen, probably because they don't like leeks!
