- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup olive oil (+ 1 tbsp. for the finish)

Ingredients
- About 500g plain haloumi cheese
- 1 cup basil pesto
- Salt and pepper from the mill

Preparation
- Put all the ingredients for the pesto in a food processor and chop until fine, then season with salt and pepper. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and mix with a spoon.
- Place the cheese in a large airtight dish and pour in the pesto. Add a thin stream of olive oil and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat and set aside in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or better yet, overnight.
