Duck Salad, Blue Cheese, Fig-Pecan Vinaigrette @ Cypress
Figs and ducks are a natural combination. When the figs are brought to bear ont he duck as a glaze, that's as nice as the orange-flavored version, and gratifyingly different. But the magic persists in this salad, whose several flavors orbit your palate until coming together in a wonderful composition of tastes. Warning: although the price is in single digits, it's more filling than you expect. Doubled up, it wouldn't be a bad entree.
