Chef Tips
Use other nuts and or seeds in place of hazelnuts if you don’t have hazelnuts. The purpose of the hazelnuts is for textural enjoyment, nutrition and flavor.
Preparation
Step 1
Combine the carrots, green onions, green olives (if using) and parsley in a large bowl and toss.
Step 2
In a small mason jar add the vinegar, mustard, honey, olive oil and a fat pinch of salt. Secure a lid on the jar and shake until smooth. Taste for seasonings and adjust as needed.
Step 3
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and sprinkle with the hazelnuts.
