Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup green olives with pimentos
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to blend.
Step 2
Once softened, add the mayonnaise to the cream cheese and mix until smooth and creamy. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy rubber spatula for best results.
Step 3
Chop the green olives with pimentos into small, uniform pieces. This adds texture without overwhelming the consistency of the spread.
Step 4
Fold the chopped olives and pecans into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Season the mixture with garlic powder and ground black pepper. Mix well to incorporate the spices.
Step 6
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl or airtight container. Let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or use as a spread for sandwiches. Enjoy!
