Notes
Toasting Hazelnuts: To toast hazelnuts, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until they’re fragrant and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Let them cool before chopping.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the dressing and toast the hazelnuts ahead of time with minimal histamine buildup. Store the dressing in the fridge and the hazelnuts in an airtight container until you’re ready to assemble the salad.
