Cheese, Walnut, and Quail Egg Salad

A wholesome, tasty salad with walnuts. You can make it with either spreadable cheese or a firm, hard cheese. Stir in a little finely minced garlic and the salad takes on a whole new flavor and aroma. The cheese pairs beautifully with fresh cucumber, and walnuts bring plenty of good vitamins and minerals to the bowl.
