Notes
If you can only find the whole jarred pimentos, just dice them up yourself with a knife or food chopper.
I go with Philadelphia cream cheese, but generic will work just fine. Make sure to soften it so it'll combine with the other ingredients well.
Add more mayonnaise if you want a thinner consistency. Adjust taste to your preference.
