Method

In a bowl, combine the 3 cheeses and season with black pepper. With damp hands, roll the mix into 6 small balls. Put the chopped hazelnuts and chives on a plate and gently roll the cheese balls in the nut and herb mixture until evenly coated. Set aside.
In a small jug, mix together the olive oil and vinegar with 1 1/2 tbsp parsley. Season. Toss the lentils in half the dressing, reserving the rest. Put on a serving plate.
Top the lentils with the slices of Parma ham and peach, and the cheese balls. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and sprinkle over the remaining parsley.

Tip: Mix spoonsful of leftover cheese and nuts through cooked pasta, then top with grated lemon zest for an easy dinner idea.
