Procedure:
  1. Clean and dry the mesclun. Clean and grate the carrot. 
  2. Clean radishes and slice in to thin slices
  3. roast nuts until lightly golden. 
  4. Place salad, carrot, hazelnuts and radishes in to a large salad bowl and mixt. 
  5. Cut apples in to julienne slices and sprinkle with lemon 
  6. Put mustard in to a mixing bowl with vinegar and salt. Gradually whisk in olive oil until well emulsified.
  7. Mix the salad from step 5 with the above mixture (from step 6) and serve.
Enjoy with some white wine!!!
