  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large lemon
  • 1-1/2 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 1/2 cup diced fresh tomato

Instructions

  1. Pound veal cutlets to 1/8 inch thickness, if necessary. Combine garlic and pepper; press evenly onto cutlets.

  2. Grate peel and squeeze juice from lemon; reserve juice. Combine lemon peel, panko and parsley in shallow dish. Coat cutlets with crumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat both sides.

Remove cutlets; keep warm. Wipe out skillet with paper towel. Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and cutlets. Season veal with 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  4. Place arugula and tomato in large bowl.

  5. Whisk reserved lemon juice and honey in small bowl until blended. Pour over arugula and tomato; toss to coat. Season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, if desired.

  6. Divide arugula mixture evenly among 4 serving plates. Top evenly with dates and cheese. Serve with veal. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired. Before serving, squeeze 1 lemon wedge over veal, if desired.
