Instructions

Toast hazelnuts per instructions at bottom of recipe. Set aside.
Prepare the vinaigrette by adding all ingredients to a small jar and whisking vigorously, emulsifying it into a creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning as necessary and set aside.
Place arugula in the bottom of a large salad bowl.
Add sliced apples, celery, red onions, and 2/3rd of the toasted hazelnuts. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over salad (you may not need all of it) and toss to combine.
To serve, divide salad onto chilled salad plates and top with remaining toasted hazelnuts. Enjoy!

To toast hazelnuts:

Preheat oven to 350°F
Spread nuts out in a single layer on a dry baking sheet.
Bake 12-15 minutes, giving the nuts a stir once or twice to encourage even toasting.
Allow to cool before using.

Notes

Use the thinner stalks, they are less rough but crispy at the same time. Be sure to toss the chopped apple with some fresh lemon juice before adding to the salad to minimize browning. It is easy to toast your own hazelnuts. See instructions above.
