For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of Old Bay seasoning or a dash of hot sauce to the spread. If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can use a hand mixer or food processor to blend the ingredients together. This spread can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
