Miso, Ginger & Smoked Duck Salad!! An experience to love!!

Miso and fresh ginger, the flavors of love that make this smoked duck & mache (lambs lettuce) salad. First the dressing, nothing complicated:

1 teaspoon Red Miso Paste
2 tablespoons Brown Rice Vinegar
1 tablespoon grated or pressed Fresh Ginger
1 teaspoon chopped or pressed Garlic
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil ( roasted)
1/4 cup Water
2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped Chives
pinch Szehwan Pepper

In a food processor or blender combine all the ingredients until well incorporated and smooth, that's it !!
Personally I find Smoked Duck Brest over legs and thigh for this application to give a nicer presentation but breast meat can be pricey if you do not smoke your own as I do. Here is what you will need to put together an awe inspired salad

1 cup Mache (lambs lettuce)
1 cup Herb Salad Mix ( with cilantro & dill sprigs)
2 tablespoons sliced green onion
2 tablespoon Pomegranate Seeds (fresh)
1/4 cup smoked Duck Breast (julienned)
2 tablespoons Miso Ginger Dressing
1 good sprig Cilantro
1 teaspoon Roasted Sesame Seeds

In a large mixing bowl combine all the mentioned ingredients, reserve the cilantro sprig and 2 tablespoons of smoked duck for garnish, toss well and plate up on your favorite platter or plate, garnish with reserved duck and cilantro sprig. Enjoy!!
There is something that will surprise your palette as you enjoy your way thru this salad, the sweet yet salty flavors combined with the fresh dill and miso does something that combined with the pomegranate is.....I won't spoil this surprise!
This was actually what I prepared for dinner last night here at home, I paired it off with a 2009 HAHN Pinot Noir, I must say it went extremely well leaving me with a satisfied feeling of happiness with in!!
Have a GRAND DAY !!
