1/4 cup mayonnaise

One 4-ounce jar pimentos, drained and finely chopped
Dash of hot sauce
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Celery sticks, for serving

Making ahead: The prepared cheese filling can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Cook's Note

t's tempting to use pre-grated cheese, but pre-grated cheese sometimes contains additives that prevent clumping. It's better to freshly grate your own so the pimento cheese will be creamy--and additive free.
