Whisk together the vinegar, oil, and spices to create a creamy sauce. Cut the cheese into thin, long strips (I always slice the block of cheese crosswise into approximately 1 cm thick slices, and then use a cheese slicer to cut the thinnest, narrowest strips possible). Place the cheese in a bowl and quickly toss with the dressing to prevent the strips from sticking together. Wash the grapes, remove the stems, and halve them. Peel and finely chop the onion. Add both to the cheese along with the walnuts and mix gently. Let it marinate for about 1 hour and serve sprinkled with parsley.
