Mustard Green, Radish and Duck Bacon Salad

It’s my new favorite salad.  Hefty enough for a meal; this is no boring summer salad. Spicy mustard greens, peppery argugula and gorgeous rainbow radishes are such a nice foil for the salty duck, sweet crunch of the walnuts and lightly sweet maple vinaigrette.  The part that makes this really, really good…duck bacon of course – and a luscious, just barely set egg. It’s kind of a take on a french frisée salad with lardons, but honestly- duck is better 🙂 Check out how easy it is below.dbd0b6_bc1681bc725d424c8e5aeca00da7af20
