Smoked Mackerel and Beetroot Salad Recipe

The salad here is a master piece in all three segments you could rate food;; the taste, content and presentation. A good source of proteins, vitamin and fiber, the salad is filled with joys of good food.
The mackerel adds the substance while the beetroot makes it all the more appealing with its taste and color. The lime along with the horseradish brings a tangy flavor to the meal. It will serve very well as a great side dish and even as a starter that is going to set the standards high for the rest of the menu.Follow our step by step guide and bring the kitchen to life.
