Ingredients You Need for Pimento Cheese Spread [Vegan]
How to Prepare Pimento Cheese Spread [Vegan]
- Place blotted and very dry shredded carrots in a large mixing bowl along with grated onion and diced pimento.

- Adjust the seasoning if desired. Scrape this "cheese" mixture into the bowl with the vegetables and stir gently, but thoroughly, to combine.
- Cover tightly and chill for at least 2 to 3 hours or until cold throughout.
- If the mixture seems more moist than you would like, you may place it, covered, in a colander over a bowl to drain for several hours (discard liquid); but it shouldn't be if the carrots were dry going in.
Notes
For an appetizing texture, it is critical that the carrots be dry before blending them with the other ingredients.
