Berry Spinach Salad With Toasted Hazelnuts image

If you love sweet and salty paired in one dish, then this nourishing salad is for you. To take this dish on the road, pack the berries and the dressing separately to avoid wilting the greens. For a cocktail party, swap the greens out for lettuce cups and spoon them full of the carrots, radishes, berries, and nuts, then drizzle with dressing.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup hazelnuts
1/4 cup extra-­virgin olive oil
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons plain kefir
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound salad greens, such as mesclun, baby kale, or spinach
4 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 pint berries such as raspberries or blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 350°F.
  • Spread out the hazelnuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in the oven until the skins split and the nuts turn a deep golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. While still hot, rub the hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins (some bits of skin will remain). Cool for 5 minutes, then chop.
  • Combine the oil, lemon zest and lemon juice, kefir, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Divide the salad greens among four plates. Top with the carrots, radishes, and berries and drizzle with the dressing. Garnish with the chopped hazelnuts and serve immediately.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover berries. I also like to add a bit of crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.
