Looking for a refreshing and delicious salad that will tantalize your taste buds? Look no further than the Crispy Duck and Watermelon Salad! This dish is a perfect combination of crispy duck, juicy watermelon, and fresh greens that will leave you feeling satisfied and refreshed.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 duck breasts
- 1 small watermelon
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Season the duck breasts with salt and pepper and place them skin-side down in a cold, oven-safe skillet. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook the duck for about 8-10 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the duck over and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the other side is browned. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the duck is cooked through but still pink in the center. Remove from the oven and let the duck rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the duck is cooking, prepare the watermelon by cutting it into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, chopped mint, chopped cilantro, chopped peanuts, and chopped scallions. In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil to make the dressing.
To assemble the salad, divide the mixed greens between four plates. Top each plate with sliced duck and watermelon pieces. Drizzle the dressing over the top of each salad and serve immediately.
This Crispy Duck and Watermelon Salad is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors, with the crispy duck and juicy watermelon complementing each other perfectly. The fresh greens and herbs add a refreshing touch, while the dressing ties everything together with a tangy and slightly sweet flavor.
