Olive and Pecan Spread

OLIVE AND PECAN SPREAD

6 ounces cream cheese (regular or low-fat), softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise or light mayonnaise
1 cup chopped green salad olives (buy the least expensive kind, since you chop them up anyway; the jar will say salad olives, and they are usually small pieces of olives and pimentos)
Dash of ground pepper (but no salt)
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Combine the softened cream cheese and the mayonnaise in a bowl. A fork works well to get it all mixed together. Then add the juice from the olive jar and a dash or two of pepper, then mix. Now, fold in the pecans and olives.This can be served as a thick dip or used as a nice spread on toast or on bread with some tomatoes and lettuce for a tasty sandwich.
