Ingredients

  • 1 x 250g pouch mixed grains (use cooked quinoa or a quinoa-and-rice mix for GF requirements)
  • zest and juice of ½ lemon
  • ½ x 20g pack dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp low-fat yogurt
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach
  • 1 x 250g pack cooked beetroot, drained and chopped
  • 100g radishes, chopped
  • ½ x 180g pack smoked peppered mackerel, skin discarded and flaked

Step by step

  1. Heat the grains according to pack instructions (or simply pour some boiling water over them in a bowl, then drain), tip into a bowl and leave to cool a little. Mix in all the zest, half the lemon juice and a little of the dill. To make the dressing, mix the remaining lemon juice, most of the rest of the dill, all the olive oil, yogurt and a pinch of sugar in a bowl and season.
  2. Gently fold the spinach through the grains and divide between two bowls. Top with the beetroot, radishes and mackerel. Drizzle the dressing over the top and scatter the remaining dill.
    Tip
    Make it veggie: Omit the mackerel and add some chopped cucumber, baby tomatoes and a little crumbled feta cheese.
