Quick Canned Mackerel Tikka Salad Dressing

I told you I'd be back with more canned mackerel recipes, didn't I?! If you're busy but want to stay healthy, canned mackerel in a healthy oil really is the way to go.

Everything's already cooked and meals can be whipped up in minutes. In fact, this mackerel tikka salad is almost like a hack.

Most days, I'll create a keto salad dressing on a whim and just experiment. A dash of cream here, mustard sauce there. Just have fun and you'll be a master of your own salad dressing in no time!

1. Drain the olive oil or extra virgin olive oil from the canned mackerel into a bowl. Avoid inflammatory oils, such as sunflower oil if you can!
2. Stir in tikka paste from a jar
3. Then some balsamic vinegar
4. Place the drained mackerel on the salad and drizzle over the quick and easy tikka salad dressing!
