Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the vinaigrette
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1 small shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard, or to taste
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup walnut oil (available at specialty foods shops) or olive oil
a 1/2- pound log of soft mild goat cheese such as Montrachet, cut crosswise into 6 pieces
an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon water
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 small heads of Boston lettuce, washed well, spun dry, and shredded fine
1 small head of radicchio, washed well, spun dry, and shredded fine

Steps:
