I too love eggs, and love olives, but when I mixed the two my taste buds weren't thankfull!

I loved this egg salad. I even added a little shredded cheese the second time.

I’m of the school of thought that when it comes to cooking season to taste! What is too salty/not enough salt, bland/bold, too peppery/needed pepper varies, depending on whose palate is doing the tasting! So…if it’s too bland, add some seasoning! I added pretty much the first thing I grabbed, some Sazon seasoning and a bit of ground mustard, tho’ any number of things I had in my spice cabinet would have worked – Penzey’s Fox Point Seasoning, Jane’s Krazy Mixed Up Salt, Lawrey’s Seasoned Salt, celery Salt, garlic salt, even Montreal Steak Seasoning – and the list could go on. Seems too peppery? Again, add it to taste! Start with a small amount, add more if you like. There are no boo-boos that way. I didn’t mash the eggs; I prefer my egg salad chunkier, however… if you were going to make canapés with this, on rye rounds, for example, with a garnish of fresh dill or parsley, the mashed version would not only spread better, it would be more fitting and easier to eat as a finger food. Also, it’s no problem to add more or less mayonnaise to your liking. I didn’t measure; I just dumped it in there till it was the way I wanted it. To please both Hubs’ and my palates, I knew we’d like the bite of fresh green onion and the crunch of chopped celery, so I added both. I’ve never added green olives before (tho’ I recall adding them to AR’s “Mother-in-Law Eggs” and liking them) and, while I may not add them routinely, I did enjoy them for something different than “the usual.”

A good base, but felt it needed more spice. I added a teaspoon of paprika, doubled the black pepper, a half tsp of cajun seasonings, and a finely chopped rib of celery and a green onion.

Love this egg salad, for both taste and cost!

I would have never thought of adding Spanish olives to egg salad but it was delicious! Will definitely do this one again!

I tried this recipe yesterday after a craving for egg salad, no celery. I do love olives and never thought of adding any. I did add a bit of Dijon mustard and mixed with LF mayo. I served on romaine like others suggested. It was the best and no bread?? even better! Thanks!

This is the recipe I grew up eating with the exception of the paprika. If you're like me and love Spanish olives, you'll love this recipe - I always wind up popping about 4 olives into my mouth while cutting the others for the salad!

Thought this was a great base recipe, but made a few additions. I added a little dijon mustard, a few dashes of tabasco, some dill weed, and some lemon juice. It made fantastic sanwhiches, or just all by it's self. I will definatly make this again.

GREAT RECIPE! We love olives so I knew this would be a hit. I skipped the paprika and added a little Gulden's mustard. I did not mash the eggs as we like them chopped. I added the chopped olives to taste rather than measuring them. This was so good! Next time I think I will add some chopped onion. Thank you OLIVIES for sharing your recipe.
