Instructions: Makes 1 1/2 cups.

Mix the seasoning and the cream cheese until well blended. Stir in the olives, pimientos, and chives. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

NOTES : Try this on bagels, pita chips, crackers, or celery. Great for hors doeuvres.

Ive really been craving olives lately, and have enjoyed tasting the specialty olives at Whole Foods. When I make the following spread, Ill probably use one of those wrinkly black olives that pack so much flavor. I may also use yogurt cheese in lieu of the cream cheese. Yum...this would be good on pita or bagel crisps, or simply on melba toasts.
