Smoked Mackerel Celery And Apple Salad Food

SMOKED-MACKEREL, CELERY, AND APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, sugar, and pepper in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Pat mackerel dry and break into large pieces, discarding skin. Stir into dressing along with celery and apple.
• Toss arugula with oil and a pinch of salt in another large bowl.
• Divide arugula among plates, then spoon mackerel salad on top.

WARM NEW POTATO & SMOKED MACKEREL SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
• While the potatoes are cooking, mix the crème fraîche in a large bowl with the horseradish cream and lemon juice. Season well with freshly ground black pepper (there's no need for salt because of the saltiness of the smoked mackerel).
• Drain the potatoes, halve and set aside to cool down for a few minutes. Tip into the crème fraîche mix and stir so it coats them and becomes quite runny. Now add the smoked mackerel and watercress and toss gently together. Pile on two plates and serve straight away (it's best while still warm).

APPLE CELERY SALAD

Steps:

• Toss the diced apples with the lemon juice.
• Add the diced celery.
• In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar and tarragon.
• Pour mayo mixture over salad and toss to coat.
• Season with salt if desired.
• Chill and serve.

APPLE-CELERY SALAD

Steps:

• Toss celery and apples with lemon juice. In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider, vinegar, oil, mustard and sugar. Pour over celery mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour. Stir before serving.

ENDIVE, APPLE, AND CELERY SALAD WITH SMOKED ALMONDS AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Combine 1 Tbsp. vinegar and 3 cups cold water in a medium bowl. Add apple slices and let soak.
• Meanwhile, whisk mustard, kosher salt, and remaining 1/4 cup vinegar in a medium bowl, then whisk in oil in a slow, steady stream.
• Drain and pat apple slices dry. Combine apple slices, endives, celery stalks, cheese, and half of the almonds in a large bowl.
• Drizzle dressing over salad. Gently toss until salad is evenly dressed, then season with sea salt and pepper. Top with chives, celery leaves, and remaining almonds.

SMOKED MACKEREL SALAD WITH BEETROOT & HORSERADISH DRESSING

Steps:

• For the dressing, tip the shallots into a bowl with the vinegar, season and set aside to soften for a few mins. Mix the diced beetroot and olive oil into the shallots. The dressing can be made up to a day ahead and chilled.
• To serve, lightly toss the leaves with the mackerel and some of the dressing. Place 3 slices of beetroot onto each plate, pile the salad into the centre, then spoon the rest of the dressing around the outside. Spoon little blobs of horseradish around each plate and serve.

BEET & APPLE SALAD WITH HORSERADISH MACKEREL CREAM

Steps:

• If not eating straight away, toss the apple in a little lemon juice to prevent it going brown. Pile the salad leaves onto plates and top with the apple and beets.
• Mix the mackerel with the yogurt and horseradish sauce to make an almost mousse-like consistency. Spoon onto the salad and scatter with the seeds and dill.
