  I put the salsa on tinned sardines on toast for a simple and delicious lunch.

  We tried this and even the children loved it - the next day I also used the left-over salsa with some cold turkey and that was a good match too.

  I used smoked mackerel as not a big fan of curry powder and it turned out lovely!

  Made for a good starter, then looked more impressive than the effort taken to make it

  After reading the reviews I hoped this dish would reconcile me with mackrel....it didn't, I'm afraid. I wasn't able to follow the recipe exactly, so maybe that had something to do with it, but I really didn't enjoy the fish. The salsa is truly amazing, however!

  I've made this numerous times and it always tastes fantastic. The beetroot salsa is great. I toast two thick cut slices of sour dough bread

  What is fantastic about this recipe is the combination in the beetroot salsa. Make it to have with absolutely anything - make any excuse to eat it, because it's just gorgeous.
