Steps:
- Boost the Cream:
- Combine garlic and cream in a small bowl. Season with salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover and chill 1 hour.
- Go Nuts:
- Toast the hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet in a 350° oven, tossing occasionally, until golden, 8-10 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop.
- Veg Out:
- Thinly slice the carrots lengthwise on a mandoline and separate leaves from lettuce.
- Get Dressed:
- Strain the infused cream into a medium bowl and add the oil. Whip to very soft peaks, then whisk in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Bring It Home:
- Toss the carrots, lettuce, mint leaves, and half of hazelnuts with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add a few dollops of lemon cream and gently toss to coat. Spoon remaining lemon cream onto a platter and mound salad over. Top with cheese, remaining hazelnuts, and some cracked pepper and flaky sea salt.

r.shuvojit@hotmail.frThis salad was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think I just added too much lemon juice. Next time I'll be sure to use less.
