Ingredients

Salad

  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup roughly chopped raw hazelnuts
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4 cups arugula

  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese (omit for paleo)*

Dressing

  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon gluten free soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, add olive oil, hazelnuts, honey, and sea salt.
  2. Stir until nuts are evenly coated.
  3. Cook until nuts are golden and toasted. Let cool in a bowl.
  4. To make dressing, add all ingredients into a bowl or jar and whisk until combined

Tips

Vegan parmesan cheese would also work I did not use all the dressing, so try ¾ of it and taste then add more if needed
