Warm salad with potato croutons and roasted duck fillet

Hari ni makan salad for lunch. Bunyi macam diet kan? Not really!

The story is like this, usually we eat duck with bread dumplings, pickled red cabbage and gravy, which, exactly like it sounds, heavy on the stomach. Today I wanted something lighter and I have an appetite for veggie, so I made this light warm salad with roasted duck fillet.

.....................................

Recipe:

Salad leaves,  I used a mix of lettuce and romaine

Onion, cut into thin rings

Cherry tomatoes, halved and pitted

Carrots, thinly sliced

for the potato croutons:

400g potatoes, peeled and diced.

Heat oil in a large frying pan. Sauté the potato cubes until brown. This may take a while.  When its starts to brown, season with salt, cayenne pepper and oregano.

for the duck:

The duck fillet is store bought so I just shoved them in the oven. I guess one can opt for grilled chicken breast or turkey breast fillet. No rules here!

salad dressing:

5 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon runny honey

1 tablespoon mustard

1 tablespoon creme fraiché or sour cream

2 clove of garlic, very finely minced

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

juice of half a lemon

juice of the roasted duck

I put all ingredients in a clean bottle and shake until they emulsify.

to serve:

Get a big plate, salad first, then the dressing, then the croutons and lastly the duck fillet. Dribble the sauce over them one more time. Sprinkle toasted sesame seed to garnish.

Yummy, filling and light to the tummy.
