Apple Cider Hazelnut Dressing

Don’t miss out on my yummy Apple Cider Hazelnut Dressing recipe below!👇🏽

After living in New England for 7 years and Northern Ohio for 16 years, it shouldn’t be a surprise that I love apple cider! So no matter where I live now, fall is the time to drink fresh apple cider and eat apple cider donuts. 🍁

I also use apple cider to make salad dressing this time of year. I changed up my apple cider dressing by adding hazelnuts to the recipe for the first time.

I was inspired by a fall salad served with a delicious creamy apple cider and hazelnut dressing at Oliver's on the Cape Fear in Southport, NC.

So instead of thickening my apple cider dressing with dijon or tahini, I made a creamy dressing by thickening it with hazelnuts (from Trader Joes) in a small blender.

This dressing is perfect for a fall salad. I made this salad with an autumn theme by adding pomegranate seeds, roasted butternut squash, feta, and honeyed walnuts. 🍂
