Homemade Cheese Spread.

4 oz. cheese
Salad dressing (low fat is fine)
Mustard (optional)
Chopped onion, olives, pimentos, ham or chicken (optional)

Directions:
Grate 4 oz. of your favorite cheese on a large hole grater. Add salad dressing to make a spreadable mixture. Add a bit of your favorite mustard if desired, to taste. Chopped olives, onion, pimentos, chicken, or ham may also be added. Mix together, and serve as a sandwich spread. Can also be used to fill celery ribs or stuff fresh mushrooms.

Notes:
This is much better than that fake-yellow stuff in the little tubs.
