What a lovely savory dish that seems to be perfect every time. This method of cooking duck came after I made a slow roasted Duck with Green Olives in Provence.

This has been a much loved salad in our family Thanksgiving dinner. I think my mother loved the idea that all of these things could be made ahead of time. And this salad is better with time sitting in the refrigerator. She has changed it, added different things, and made it her own over the years. I have done the same thing.
