Ingredients

150g hot-smoked mackerel, skinned
1 ripe avocado
Juice of ½ lemon, plus an extra squeeze
200g cherry tomatoes, halved
250g pack ready-cooked puy lentils (we like Merchant Gourmet)
2 handfuls of lamb’s lettuce or other salad leaves
Handful of fresh chives, snipped
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Method

Gently break the mackerel into bite-size chunks and put in a serving bowl. Slice the avocado into chunks, then squeeze over a little lemon juice to prevent it browning.
Add the avocado, tomatoes, lentils, salad leaves and chives to the mackerel. Whisk the lemon juice with sea salt, black pepper and a pinch of caster sugar, then whisk in the olive oil. Pour over the salad, toss gently, then serve.
