I made this today for lunch and it was yummy. I
defrosted some chopped Ring of Fire chiles from the
freezer and they worked wonderfully.
I adapted this from Nigella Bites by Nigella Lawson,
my new favorite book and culinary tv star. It was
really easy to put together and delicious.

NOTES : Risa's notes:
This recipe is an adaptation of the Gingery-Hot Duck
Salad in Nigella Bites by Nigella Lawson, p. 229. She
uses a duck breast, and grills it or fries it, fat
side down, and cooks it until juicy and then slices it
on the diagonal and continues with the recipe.
It is a delicious, clean-tasting salad. Not too sour.
