This salad is so pretty you could definitely serve it up for a gathering. Making a delicious duck salad couldn’t be much easier, especially when you source the roasted duck already cooked from a Chinese grocer.
Of course if you’d prefer to cook your own duck, you can, simply buy three duck breast raw to complete the salad.
