I’ve enjoyed this mackerel salad in lettuce wraps but it’s just as delicious on whole wheat crackers, a baguette or fresh sour-dough bread.

Instructions
- Drain the oil from the can and place the mackerel in a bowl. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the fish.
- Add all of the ingredients - except for the spring onions - for the salad and mix well. To retain some crunch, add the finely chopped spring onions last and mix again.
- Put the salad in the fridge (30 to 60 minutes) and serve in the lettuce wraps.TIP: you can also have this salad in a bagel or on toast. Top with crunchy veggies, red onions and maybe another cheeky smear of mayonnaise.If you make my recipes please tag me in them and use #thespicedchickpearecipes. I'd love to see what you've made!
