Method
Heat a medium frying pan and the season the duck breasts really well with salt and pepper.
Place skin side down into the pan and gently cook for 4-5 minutes.
Turnover and cook for a further 4-5 minutes depending on the thickness of the breast.
When firm to the touch, remove the pan from the stove and cover with foil, leave for at least 12-15 minutes.
Next place the puree into a bowl and add the mustard, vinegar and whisk together well.
then add the oil so the dressing emulsifies, the adjust with a little water and season to taste.
Place the leaves into a large bowl, add a few spoons of dressing and lightly mix with a pair of tongs, the colour is stunning.
Add the cheese and croutons and lightly mix, season well with salt and pepper.
Slice the duck very thinly across the grain of the flesh.
Place a pile of salad on a plate then add half the pink duck slices, top with more salad and the rest of the duck.
Serve with 5 pickled cherries around the salad and serve.
