60 minutes

This refined salad combines the rich flavors of duck and smoked chicken with the crunchy freshness of green lettuce. Italian cuisine is renowned for its harmony of textures and aromas, and this dish is a testament to that. The tender and fragrant duck meat pairs perfectly with the smoked chicken, while crispy pine nuts add a light nutty note. The dressing made from vinegar, vegetable oil, and spicy mustard gives the salad a piquant depth. Historically, such salads emerged in regions of Italy where rich meat flavors were valued but aimed to maintain the dish's lightness. It is perfect as a standalone dish or as an elegant appetizer for dinner.
