Baby Greens Tossed with a Chardonnay Hazelnut Vinaigrette, Roasted Hazelnuts and Goat Cheese

An Emeril recipe that I needed to post so that I don't lose it.

It's one of the tastiest dressings that I have ever tasted. Hazelnut oil is the key here.

It's a bit expensive and it's usually found in gourmet shops, although some supermarkets may have a supply. You can also find it at amazon.com.

It's very popular in French cooking and it must be stored in the refrigerator after opening. It does not go solid, and the expiration is about 1 year beyond the purchase date.

Enjoy:)
