Ingredients

  • 158 g grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 65 g grated gouda
  • 112 g grated emmental
  • 115 g diced pickled cucumbers
  • 50 g diced pimentos
  • 1 t minced garlic
  • 67 g mayonnaise (as needed)

Method

Mix all ingredients in large bowl; add mayonnaise and mix until it achieves a spread consistency.  

Refrigerate, but set out for 20-30 minutes before using.

Notes

SJ Note 18 Sept 2009: This tastes pretty good, but I may tweak it a bit: it seems to be missing something.  Next time, I think I'll shred the cheese more finely (I just used the coarse grate this time).  Also, want to try this again with better pickles; this batch of pickles is only decent, not good.
