Roasted Hazelnut Vinaigrette

The hazelnut syrup used in this recipe is available in most supermarkets.

If you do not have lemon oil, prepare the lemon oil by mixing 3 tablespoons of olive oil with 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.

Serves 8

Ingredients

½ cup hazelnuts

¼ cup hazelnut syrup

3 tbsp honey

½ cup apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp lemon oil

¼ cup lemon oil

½ cup olive oil

Method

Add the hazelnuts and 2 tablespoons of lemon oil to a small bowl. Toss the hazelnuts in the oil until the nuts are coated. Place the nuts on a baking sheet pan and roast in a 350° F oven for 10 minutes. Remove the nuts from the oven and cool completely. Once cool, grind the nuts in a food processor until they are a very fine texture. Add the ground hazelnuts, hazelnut syrup, honey, apple cider vinegar, the remaining lemon oil and olive oil to a blender and cover. Blend until the ingredients are well incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir well before serving.
