Perigord Salad, (Salade Périgourdine) is a traditional french recipe from the region of Perigord. It is a regional favourite in this area, which is famous for it's consumption of duck.

Perigord is a region of France, within the Department of the Dordogne in the south west of France. It has many traditional french recipes and regional favourites. This one is my husbands favourite. 'Salade Périgourdine'.

It's most special ingredient is gesier de canard, which is at it's best in the form of preserved duck giblets. If you have never tasted them before you are really missing something. They are tender and full of flavour. A typical example of a confit preservation. You must try the recipe and judge for yourself.
