For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Use a high-quality Greek feta cheese for the best flavor. Feel free to add other ingredients such as chopped parsley, mint, or lemon zest for an extra burst of freshness. This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving. If you don't have chicken broth, vegetable broth or water can be substituted.
