Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz mild cheddar cheese, grated
8 oz sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
1 (4 oz) bottle diced pimentos, and liquid
1 (8 oz) package of softened neufchatel cheese (no non fat) or 1 (8 oz) package reduced-fat cream cheese ( no non fat)
1 tbsp light mayonnaise
1 -2 tbsp very hot apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp finely grated onion (or dried equivalent)
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper or 1/2 tsp tabasco jalapeno sauce
1 pimento stuffed olive, sliced thinly

Directions:

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!
