Duck and Roasted Walnut Salad

2 duck breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup walnuts
Dressing (recipe follows)
1 cucumber, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place duck breasts on a rack in a baking pan and season with salt and pepper; roast 45 minutes.
Let cool and slice thin.
Spread walnuts on a cookie sheet and roast at 350 degrees 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are brown and give off a rich, nutty aroma; stir once or twice during cooking.

Prepare dressing. Toss a little dressing with cucumber slices and arrange on a platter; fan duck slices on top. Spoon reserved dressing over top and garnish with roasted walnuts and chopped onion. Makes 4 servings.


Dressing
1 tablespoon raspberry vinegar
2 tablespoons walnut oil
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
