Toast the pecans for some extra flavor.
If you don’t want to go through the trouble of removing the pomegranate seeds yourself, you can find them already removed at the grocery store!
Be sure to take your cream cheese out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about an hour. This will make mixing it with the other ingredients much easier.

Use green onions instead of chives.
Instead of pomegranate seeds, try a dried fruit like Craisins.
Replace the pecans with other nuts like walnuts or almonds.
