Cheese Spread
Just 8 basic ingredients are all you need to make this flavorful cheese spread. The cream cheese, mayonnaise, and seasonings create a creamy, savory base, while the diced pimientos and fresh parsley add pops of color and flavor.
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 2 ounce jar diced pimientos, drained
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
Add in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Stir in the drained diced pimientos and fresh parsley. Fold these ingredients into the cheese spread until just combined. Do not overmix.
That's it! Your cheese spread is ready to enjoy or refrigerate.
If you want an even smoother, creamier texture, you can transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times until it reaches your desired consistency. But this optional step is not necessary.
