How To Make Apple and Celery Salad with Toasted Hazelnuts

Step #1. Toast hazelnuts per instructions at bottom of the recipe. Set aside.

Step #2. Thoroughly wash your salad ingredients and dry them using clean paper towels. Get a clean cutting board to chop the large red apples, celery stalks, and red onions (can also use green onions).

Step #2. Prepare the dressing ingredients. Get a small bowl and add the Dijon mustard, extra-virgin olive oil, cider vinegar, and the rest of the ingredients. Whisk vigorously and let it emulsify into a creamy consistency. Adjust the seasoning as necessary and set aside.

Step #3. Place arugula in the bottom of a large bowl.

Step #4. Add the sliced apples, celery, red onion, and 2/3^rd of the toasted hazelnuts in the large mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.

Step #5. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the fresh salad (you may not need all of it) and toss to combine.

Step #6. To serve, divide the Apple and Celery salad onto chilled salad plates and top with remaining toasted hazelnuts. Enjoy!

Step #2. Spread nuts out in a single layer on a dry baking sheet.

Step #3. Bake the hazelnuts for 12-15 minutes. Give the nuts a stir once or twice to encourage even toasting.
