Notes
- Storage: Keep it in an airtight container and, it will keep in the refrigerator for up to ten days.
- Serving: Don’t leave it out at room temperature for more than two hours because it has mayonnaise. If the temperature is warm or hot, reduce that time.
- Can you freeze it? No, I don’t recommend freezing pimento cheese.
