- Prepare the dressing by whisking the ingredients together and then set to one side to allow the flavours to infuse.
- Steam or boil the French beans for a few minutes so that they still have a crunch to them. Drain and allow to cool.
- Peel, core and cut the apples into thin slices and place into the lemon juice.
- Peel the celeriac and cut into thin matchsticks. Add to the apples.
- In a large salad bowl place the salad leaves, beans, apples and celeriac.
- Add ¾ of the dressing and toss well so that all the leaves are covered with the dressing.
- Arrange the salad onto plates.
- Cut the bacon into small pieces and scatter over the salad.
- Place a dry frying pan over a medium heat and add the hazelnuts. Lightly toast until they are a golden brown colour.
- Remove from the heat, place into a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or something similar.
- Sprinkle the nuts over the salad.
- Drizzle the remainder of the dressing over the salad and serve.
