This American duck salad has become my go to weeknight dinner because it comes together in less than an hour and feels completely restaurant worthy. The duck breast cooks up beautifully with just a simple sear, giving you this gorgeous crispy skin and tender meat that makes the whole salad feel fancy without any fuss. I love that the tangy apple cider vinegar dressing really plays off the richness of the duck, and the blue cheese adds this lovely sharp note that ties everything together. Plus, duck is packed with iron and B vitamins, so you're getting real nutritional benefits while treating yourself. Trust me, once you try this one, you'll be making it again and again.
