Ingredients
- 5 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, sliced into thin rounds
- 3 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 8 oz crumbled goat cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the goat cheese into 8 even rounds, about 1-inch thick each.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, cumin, and dried oregano. In another small bowl, have the beaten egg ready.
Step 4
Dip each goat cheese round into the egg, ensuring it's coated on all sides, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly. Set aside on a plate.
Step 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the goat cheese rounds for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to finish cooking.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, red onion, and avocado.
Step 8
Drizzle the salad with the dressing and toss gently to coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates.
Step 9
Top each salad with 2 warm goat cheese rounds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
