Method
step 1
Crumble the feta into blender or food processor. Add 1⁄2 the lemon juice and whizz until smooth, then add the soft cheese with 1⁄4 tsp salt and whizz again until smooth. Stir in most of the chives and chill until ready to serve.
step 2
Just before you sit down to eat, toss the leaves, walnuts, the remaining lemon juice and 1 tbsp olive oil with some seasoning. Add a little pile to each of 8 starter plates. Use a spoon or two to shape a quenelle or dollop of the feta mousse to sit on each plate, too, then scatter with the remaining chives. Serve with the melba toast, crackers or crispbreads.
