Helpful Tips
For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the cheese mixture. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts. This spread can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator; just give it a quick stir before serving.
