- Salad ingredients
2 medium yellow potatoes, skinned and cubed into 1″ pieces

Follow this link for the recipe: duck-prosciutto- Vinaigrette ingredients
1/2 tsp of Dijon mustard
1 tsp of grainy mustard (optional)
1/4 tsp of salt
1 tbsp of red wine vinegar
3 tbsp of olive oil
Directions
- Add the potatoes to a small pot. Cover with water and add 1 tbsp of salt. Bring to a boil. Add the two eggs and let them boil for 8 minutes for runny yolk or 11 minutes for a hard yolk. Remove the eggs and place in cold water.
- Cook the potatoes under a light simmer until just fork tender, 12-15 minutes total. Drain the water and fill the pot with cold water to stop the potatoes from over cooking.
- Crack the shell of the eggs and remove the shell. Cut the eggs in half or in quarters.
- In a small bowl, mix the mustards, the vinegar and the salt. Slowly add the oil while mixing until uniform. Taste and add salt if too acidic.
- In two bowls, split in two equal portions the lettuce, top with the tomatoes, the cucumbers, the eggs, the potatoes and the waterfowl prosciutto. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and optionally top with freshly ground black pepper.
SUBSTITUTIONS – Since we do not always have success when going outdoors or not everyone practices hunting, fishing or picking. here are a few ideas to substitute the harvested ingredients:
- The duck/goose prosciutto can be replaced with grocery store bought prosciutto, smoked salmon, or, as is traditional, canned tuna.
- The duck/goose prosciutto can be replaced with smoked trout. Here is my recipe for smoker-less smoked trout or BBQ smoked trout: smoker-less-smoked-trout bbq-hot-smoked-maple-teriyaki-glazed-trout
