To make cheese, labneh and walnut meze, mash a soft cheese with labneh until creamy, then fold in chopped walnuts. Season to taste and chill briefly before serving. Add the walnuts near the end if you want them to stay crunchy.
Cheese, labneh and walnut meze is usually served cold or at cool room temperature, rather than heated. Warming it can loosen the dairy mixture and soften the walnuts, so take it from the refrigerator shortly before serving.
A crumbly, mildly salty cheese works well in cheese, labneh and walnut meze because it blends smoothly with labneh. Taste the cheese before adding salt, since some varieties are already salty. A very firm cheese may leave the mixture less creamy.
Serve cheese, labneh and walnut meze with flatbread, crackers, or crisp vegetables for scooping. It also fits alongside other cold meze and salads; lighter, fresh sides balance its rich, creamy texture.
Yes, you can prepare cheese, labneh and walnut meze ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. For the best crunch, stir in the walnuts shortly before serving, and give the mixture a quick stir if it has firmed up.
Cheese, labneh and walnut meze keeps for about two days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Because it contains dairy, return leftovers to the fridge promptly and serve them with a clean spoon.
Freezing cheese, labneh and walnut meze is not recommended. Labneh can separate or turn grainy as it thaws, and the walnuts lose their crisp texture. Make a smaller batch instead, and refrigerate any leftovers.
Use thick labneh and a well-drained cheese to keep cheese, labneh and walnut meze from becoming watery. If the mixture is already loose, chill it and stir in a little more crumbled cheese; avoid adding watery herbs or vegetables.
Cheese, labneh and walnut meze draws on ingredients and serving traditions found across the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. The specific combination does not have one universally established origin, and home and restaurant recipes vary.

Cheese, Labneh and Walnut Meze brings together cheese, thick, tangy labneh and walnuts in a creamy spread. It fits the meze tradition of Turkey and the wider eastern Mediterranean, where labneh-based dips and small plates are at home on a shared table.
Serve it with flatbread or crisp vegetables as part of a mezze spread, or use it as a savoury sandwich filling. The texture is smooth with a gentle crunch from the walnuts, and the flavour is rich, tangy and nutty. It provides protein, while much of its energy comes from fat. A modest portion alongside fresh vegetables makes a satisfying addition to a larger meal.
