This Japanese duck salad is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in under an hour and feels surprisingly fancy. The crispy duck breast paired with fresh, crunchy vegetables and a tangy miso vinaigrette makes for a really satisfying meal. What I love most is that duck is packed with iron and B vitamins, so you're getting serious nutrition with every bite. Plus, the ingredients are simple and mostly things you probably already have on hand, making this both budget friendly and accessible. Trust me, once you try this, you'll be making it constantly.
