Note

Store any leftover spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

For a nut-free version, substitute the pecans with additional chopped olives or omit them entirely.

If the spread is too thick, add a splash more olive juice or a teaspoon of milk to reach your desired consistency.

This spread pairs wonderfully with crusty baguettes, pita bread, or plain saltine crackers.
