Notes
- Chill first: Rest in the fridge 20–30 minutes before serving. The flavors meld and taste even better. Taste and adjust lemon or salt before eating.
- Hazelnuts: Add right before serving for maximum crunch. They soften slightly after a day in the fridge.
- Apple browning: Lemon juice helps, but for meal prep beyond 3 days, dice the apple fresh and add it to each container the day of.
- Serving: There are 4 servings. 1/4th of the recipe or about 1/2 cup is one serving.
