Meanwhile, roughly chop hazelnuts and place on a sheet pan. Toast in the hot oven until lightly brown and fragrant, about 10 minutes.

Prep the salad, make the dressing:

Trim off ends of the chicories, pull leaves apart and roughly chop. Rinse and dry the leaves. Pick leaves off the parsley and discard stems. Wash, core and thinly slice the apple. Finely chop the dill. Juice the lemons. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons of the lemon juice with dill, 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
