Chickpea Sandwich Spread

• 3/4 of a 14 oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed if need be
• 12 green olives with pimento
• 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp butter, softened
• cracked pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp chopped walnuts

1. Mash up the chickpeas fairly small so they'll be a little creamy but still have texture
2. Chop the olives roughly, reserving 1 tsp of the brine
3. In the bowl you'll be serving from, mash the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and butter
4. Add in the olives and brine and smash together well
5. Add in the cracked pepper and mix
6. Add in the chickpeas and walnuts and mix together well.
