Olive Salad Cream Cheese Spread

Submitted by CookinCowgirl

"I make this spread as part of a tapas platter, and it always disappears. I use all kinds of olives, including Kalamata, Nicoise, garlic stuffed, Manzanillas, etc. I serve water crackers with pepper, or other crackers that have a little kick. This spread is also great on toasted mini onion bagels."
