We added more cheese and dates. The dates really make it pop!

So easy and so delicious! Added dried cranberries to the walnuts, dates, and extra sharp cheese. Went a little heavier on the lemon juice and crushed red pepper then added a bit of honey and 1/2 a package of Italian seasoning dressing mix. It's a win win!
