Place all the ingredients for the horseradish salad dressing into a bowl and whisk to form a smooth dressing. Season to taste and if time allows, set aside for 15 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together. [Alternatively place all the ingredients into a jam jar with a lid and give the dressing a good shake to combine].
Remove the skin from the smoked mackerel fillets and discard. Using your hands, break the fillets into bite sized pieces and set aside.
Cut the green beans in half and place into a pan of salted boiling water to blanch for 4 minutes. Then drain the beans into a sieve and run under cold running water to stop the beans from cooking further.
Prepare the remaining vegetables and set aside until ready to assemble the salad. Keep the beetroot separate so that it does not bleed into the other vegetables.
When ready to assemble the salad, place the lettuce leaves on the botton of the serving plate or bowl and scatter over the remaining salad ingedients, finishing with the flaked fish.
Drizzle over the salad dressing and serve immediately.
Notes
I make all my salad dressing using a jam jar with a tight-fitting lid. This makes storing any leftover dressing really easy, just screw on the lid and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
