Ingredients
-
8 ounces mild cheddar cheese, grated
-
1 (4 ounce) bottle diced pimentos, and liquid
-
1 (8 ounce) package of softened neufchatel cheese (NO non fat) or 1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese (NO non fat)
-
1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
-
1 -2 tablespoon very hot apple cider vinegar
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
-
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon finely grated onion (or dried equivalent)
-
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco jalapeno sauce
-
8 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix grated cheeses and whole bottle of pimentos and liquids. Mix gently. Add block of SOFTENED cream cheese, 1 TB of mayo and 1 TB HOT apple cider vinegar(this helps soften the mix farther for easier mixing). If you need more liquid, add more HOT apple cider vinegar.
- I use all the optionals at one time and I love it. Experiment and see how you like it.
- Serve on crackers and cleaned celery stalks topped with sliced green olive.
- Also, try wrapping a piece of melon (like cantelope) and a dollop of pimento cheese in a piece of ham. Yum!
