Recipe by The Bon Appétit Test Kitchen Pound the pork into superthin cutlets to get the best crust-to-meat ratio. Make extra for a next-day sandwich.

Ingredients

2 cups 1/2" cubes watermelon 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved 2 cups (lightly packed) baby arugula 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, divided 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice plus 4 lemon wedges 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper plus more 2 large eggs 2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) 4 4-ounce boneless center-cut pork chops, pounded to 1/8" thickness 6 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided Ingredient info: Panko can be found in better supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Instructions

Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk olive oil, 1 tablespoon mustard, and juice in a small bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Set salad and dressing aside. Whisk eggs and 1 tablespoon mustard in a medium bowl. Combine panko, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on a large plate. Season pork lightly with salt and pepper. Dip in egg mixture, then in panko, pressing to adhere. Working in 2 batches, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook pork until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side, adding 1 tablespoon vegetable oil after turning.
