Notes
To tame the bite of raw onions soak them in salted water for a bit, then add them to the salad.
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container.
To roast the hazelnuts, place on a sheet pan and toast in a 350 oven until golden and fragrant, 10-15 minutes.
When crushing nuts, put them in a ziplock bag, remove as much air as possible, and roll over them with a rolling pin. If they won’t roll easily, give a few initial whacks to break them up first.
