A lovely alternative way to serve duck breast!
I love the slightly spicy vinaigrette with bright notes of orange and ginger—it pairs perfectly with the duck. For the greens, I chose rosa chicory and baby spinach, but arugula or baby kale would work wonderfully too! Go make it!

Preparation
1.
Sprinkle the duck breast with salt and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
2.
While the duck rests, mix all vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl.
3.
Slice the rosa chicory leaves in half and mix with the baby spinach in a bowl. Set aside.
4.
Pat the duck dry with a paper towel. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breast fat side down and cook for 10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes and lowering the heat if the fat is browning too quickly. Flip and cook 3 more minutes. Remove from the pan and let rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes.
5.
Thinly slice the duck with a sharp knife and transfer to the bowl with the vinaigrette. Toss to coat well.
6.
Spread the chicory and spinach on a large serving plate. Arrange the duck slices over the greens, drizzle with vinaigrette, and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves.
