Main ingredient: Meat

1 bag Florette Mixed Salad
2 Gressingham duck breasts, skin removed
25g (1oz) butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 British eating apples (such as Discovery or Cox), cored and sliced

Enjoy the true British flavours of this inspired salad, with prime duck breasts, tart eating apples and creamy Somerset Brie – all on a bed of fabulous Florette salad leaves.
1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan oven 180°C/Gas Mark 6. Put the duck breasts in a roasting pan. Melt the butter in a frying pan and brush a little over the duck breasts. Season. Roast for 30 minutes, then wrap in foil and allow to cool.
2 Meanwhile, cook the apple slices in the frying pan, turning often, for about 5 minutes. Add the caster sugar and continue to cook gently until browned. Cool.
3 Share the Florette Mixed Salad between four serving plates. Slice the duck breasts and arrange on top of the salads with the apples and Somerset Brie.
4 Make the dressing by whisking together the honey, vinegar and olive oil with a little salt and pepper. Spoon over the salads and serve at once.
Cook’s tip: For a vegetarian version, omit the duck breasts, increase the quantity of Somerset Brie and add a few toasted hazelnuts.
