- Mix the fromage frais, lime zest, half the lime juice and horseradish in a bowl, then stir in the cucumber. Check the mackerel for any stray bones, then add it to the bowl with the cannellini beans. Mix lightly to combine the mackerel and beans with the dressing.
- Toss the salad leaves with the onion and remaining lime juice, then spread on a large shallow serving platter, reserving a few pretty leaves for garnishing. Pile the mackerel and bean mixture on top, then scatter over the beetroot and reserved leaves. Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.

sounds nice to me I'm going to try this eventually...not sure I like beetroot, but then I like things now I didn't like when I was younger, so am willing to try this as something new! - 16 Jul 2013
