Crunchy hazelnuts, bright lemon juice, assertive Dijon mustard, garlic, and great olive oil make up the dressing for this fresh beautiful salad. It features vegetables such as zucchini, celery, and fennel, that are left crisp and uncooked, and then thinly sliced for optimal texture. They're tossed with arugula, for more lovely green color and a nice peppery bite, and then shaved Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano and toasted hazelnuts are added to the mix. Celery leaves and fennel fronds make a beautiful garnish.
