  Made this a couple of weeks ago. Really easy, quick and tasty. Will make again, used herbs available and a tiny bit of chilli for a bit of additional zing.

  Made this tonight for supper, it is super easy and so delicious. Made with fresh griddled mackrel and added some feta to the couscous. Also used spring onions instead of red onions...this would be an easy crowd pleaser! cheers GF

  YUM! I'm not the world's biggest beetroot fan but this was lovely! I didn'tn't have any mint but used a bit of parsely instead and it was fine. Also used much more horseraddish than suggested and it was delish. I've got enough in my lunch box for the rest of the week and very much looking forward to it!

  Great salad, but most definitely no leftovers for the next day. In fact, I have had to use more couscous to feed 2 for dinner. Are we just sooooo big eaters or can others just not admit it? Ha!

  Have just tried this out for myself and my husband - there were no left overs! I left out the beetroot and replaced it with chopped chilli and roasted tomatoes - I also roasted the mackerel so that it was a warm dish. Delicious!

  I reeeeally wanted to like this. The herb and beet couscous was really nice. The mackerel was way too fishy! I like the kind in tomato sauce, but smoked is just not for me. My boyfriend ate it all but said it was too fishy, I couldn't even finish mine. Yuck. And I made double for lunches! Darn.

  Really fantastic recipe, and so easy (the only cooking being boiling a kettle!). I added some chilli to the salad, as suggested above, and added a bag of rocket leaves to make it a bit leafier. I also used a tsp of mustard in the yoghurt as that's what we had in, and it tasted great with the mackerel. Had two generous portions of salad leftover for lunches the next day - I guess without my addition of rocket you'd probably have at least one portion leftover.

  How delicious is this - it is so simple to make. I added sweetcorn to the dish and both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately there was none left over for lunch the following day. Will definitely be making this one again.

  Delicious. This salad should have it's own facebook page:) I've made it yesterday for lunch today and ran back to computer to give feedback. Wonderful combination of flavours.

  Very filling and tasty - forgot to pick up cucumber so replaced that with green pepper - lovely and crunchy. Glad I made enough for my lunch tomorrow.

  Really nice salad. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. The yoghurt dressing was excellent and a wonderful addition to an already lovely dish. Would definitely recommend it.

  Really delicious, we were presently surprised at how nice it was. When preparing the ingredients I was thinking to myself not sure about this actually, but how wrong was I! Really fresh healthy lunch. I would recommend lightly cooking the onion in grapeseed oil and warming up the mackerel and serving it hole on top of the couscous salad. That's just my take on things though. :-)

  My other half doesn't like horsradish so we tried this with wholegrain mustard in the yoghurt. Individually, each component was nice - the yoghurt derssing, the cucumber and herbs, the mackerel, the beetroot. But the entire combination just didn't work for us. Not one we'll have again.
