Look on many a lunchtime menu in Paris and you’ll see a smoked duck breast salad so having smoked duck and having
grilled duck
I thought that it was about time to put it all together and make a healthy (and tasty) lunch.
The secret to the salad isn’t really in what salad leaves you use because frankly you can use what you have available; the real secret is in the cooking of the duck and the combination with the sauce. In the picture below you’ll see that I’ve used grilled duck breast and connected it with my wife’s damson jam sauce and in my opinion it is best served with both the duck and the sauce slightly warm.
If you haven’t got time to make damson jam sauce, a jar of plum sauce is a good alternative.
Get your salad ingredients to hane and “build” the salad on the plate. With a sharp knife, slice the duck on the diagonal and lay it out as you feel it is best presented. Spoon over the sauce and that’s it, time to tuck in.
