Cabbage salad with capers and smoked duck breast

To prepare a delicious and flavorful salad, start by taking a fresh cabbage. Grate the cabbage on a grater and place it in a large bowl. This will be the base of your salad, providing a crunchy texture and a slightly sweet taste, perfect for combining with the rest of the ingredients.

While the cabbage settles in the bowl, prepare the dill and chives. Chop them finely so that their flavors are released and perfectly integrated into the salad. Dill brings a fresh and slightly anise-like note, while chives add a subtle onion flavor, complementing the flavor palette.

After chopping the herbs, add them over the cabbage in the bowl. Next, take some capers and chop them finely. These will provide a salty contrast and a pleasant acidity to the salad, balancing the sweetness of the cabbage. Then, add slices of chili, which will add a touch of spice, turning the salad into a true explosion of flavors.

Season the mixture with salt and pepper, being careful to adjust the amount of salt according to the taste of the capers, which may already be salty. Mix all the ingredients well, ensuring that each piece of cabbage is coated with the delicious flavors of the herbs and spices.

For an extra boost of protein and rich flavor, cut the cooked or roasted duck breast into small cubes and generously sprinkle it over the salad. Duck meat brings a rich taste and a juicy texture that will blend perfectly with the other ingredients.

If you want to add a crunchy element, you can also serve this salad with toasted bread croutons. These will provide a pleasant contrast to the soft texture of the ingredients. Mix everything well and let the salad sit for a few minutes for the flavors to develop.

Serve the salad immediately, beautifully arranged on plates, and enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal. Bon appétit!
