How to Make Spicy Olive Spread

  1. In a food processor or large bowl, combine 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
  2. If using a food processor, process until smooth. If mixing by hand, mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Add 1/2 cup pitted almond-stuffed olives, 1/2 cup pitted garlic-stuffed olives, 1/2 cup pitted jalapeno-stuffed olives, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans.
  4. Pulse several times if using a food processor, or gently fold in by hand. Do not overmix! The olives and pecans should remain visible for texture.
  5. Transfer the spread to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with crackers, crostini, or vegetables.
