This Mediterranean Duck Salad is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners because it comes together in less than an hour and feels restaurant quality on a regular Tuesday. The star here is really the duck breast, which is packed with iron and B vitamins to keep your energy up, and it cooks beautifully in just twenty five minutes. I love tossing it warm over crisp greens with briny olives, tangy feta, and fresh vegetables for a salad that's both satisfying and light. It's simple enough that you probably have most ingredients on hand already, yet impressive enough to serve guests without breaking a sweat.
