California cuisine has taken the world by storm in the last few decades and bread-crumb-crusted fresh goat cheese on a light green salad is one of its banner recipes. Like the west coast lifestyle, it's becoming ubiquitous but we love it so much we'll never tire of it. This version is excellent with artisan bread toasted on the grill.

Ingredients
Method
Whisk together vinegar, mustard, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
In a shallow bowl, beat egg with 1 tablespoon water and set aside.
In another bowl, combine bread crumbs with parsley, remaining pinch of salt and pinch of pepper.
Carefully dip each goat cheese round in egg, letting any excess run off.
Then dip into bread crumbs and coat very well.
Chill coated goat cheese slices until firm, at least 1 hour.
Heat canola oil in a large skillet.
Add cheese rounds and fry, turning until both sides are golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
Arrange greens, radishes and red peppers on individual plates or serving platter.
Place the cheese rounds on top and drizzle with reserved vinaigrette.
