For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the hazelnuts with a pinch of sea salt and a drizzle of maple syrup. Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties to find your perfect match. Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji apples all work beautifully in this salad. If you prefer a creamier texture, crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese can be substituted for the Cheddar. Make the dressing ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
