Autumn Salad with Hazelnut Balsamic Dressing and Another Roland Foods Giveaway

It’s day two of Roland Foods Week here at Healthy Slow Cooking! One of the surprises I received from them to try out was some Roland® Hazelnut Oil. The first thing I did was to take off the cap and smell it. It is like a liquid hazelnut. I grew up on pecans, so hazelnuts have always seemed a little exotic.

I’m currently obsessed with apples and pears in salads and where fruit goes, nuts are soon to follow. I decided minced hazelnuts would add a nice crunch, I added shredded carrots for color and a new easy-to-make dressing made with my new hazelnut oil. (Scroll to the bottom of the post to enter to win your own bottle of Roland® Hazelnut Oil.)

I also wanted to make some salads in jars to take with me to work. I put the diced apple on the bottom with the dressing so it would stop the oxidizing, then carrots keeping the lettuce above the dressing – nice and crisp. Nuts are on the tip-top.

It’s all easy to mix up. Just shake it until everything is completely combined.  These salads can be made up to three days before you plan on eating them, any longer and the lettuce starts to get brown.

    I use them sparingly in a salad. Look forward to experimenting with adding to cooked foods too now that the temps are turning cooler.

    A bit of oil, and some balsamic on a plate for dipping breads, etc. into.

    My favorite way to use them are in salad dressings or drizzled on top of steamed veggies.
