    Duck Salad

    • Slice the skin of the duck a couple of times and then season with salt and pepper.
    • Place duck skin side down in a hot skillet, no oil needed.
    • Cook both sides until browned and cooked to desired temperature, then set aside to rest.
    • Husk the corn and pull away the threads from the corn.
    • With a stiff brush remove the stubborn threads and then rinse thoroughly.
    • Trim the base of the corn to create a flat area and balance the corn on that area, hold steady with your hand.
    • With a sharp chef's knife slice away the corn kernels. Start from the top and cut two thirds into the corn from top to bottom.
    • Cut romaine in half lengthways (from top to bottom) and place them at the four corners of your serving plate.
    • Scatter carrot and corn on the base of the plate overlapping the romaine just a little, then scatter pomegranate on top.
    • Drizzle with orange salad dressing.
    • Slice duck into chunks and place on top.
    • Serve immediately.
