Thinly slice duck breast, slicing across the grain.

In a medium bowl combine yogurt and mayonnaise. Stir in currants, green onion, almonds, ginger and zest. Salt to taste.

Slice croissants in half horizontally. Arrange sliced duck breast on one half of croissant. Drizzle duck with 2 tablespoons orange-currant dressing. Top with greens and croissant half. Serve immediately or wrap and refrigerate up to 4 hours.
