  • Toast the hazelnuts: Toast 0.3 cups toasted hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Cool, then roughly chop if desired.
  • Prep salad ingredients: Dice 1 avocado, diced into bite-sized cubes. Slice 1.5 cups cucumber, thinly sliced into thin rounds. Wash 5 cups arugula, 1 cups blackberries, and 0.8 cups blueberries. Crumble 0.3 cups feta cheese.

  • Dress and serve: Pour vinaigrette over salad and toss gently. Serve immediately. If prepping ahead, add dressing and avocado only just before serving.
