Olive and Egg Salad

by Jen Stevens

Photo by marcoverch

Olive and Egg Salad will bring the taste of Southern Europe into your dining room. This simple to prepare salad is equally good as a side salad or a light lunch.

In this egg salad recipe, the oil from olives is a “good” cholesterol oil and constant use of olives in the diet may explain why Italian and Greek people enjoy longevity. If you like anchovies, it is a good idea to add a few as garnish. This increases the salt content, so be sure to taste before seasoning.

Ingredients

8 eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
2 Tbsp pimento-stuffed green olives, chopped

Instructions

Place eggs in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover, and bring to a boil.

Cover saucepan, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove from hot water, cool, peel, and chop.

In a large bowl, mix eggs, mayonnaise, pepper, and paprika. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Gently stir in the olives.

Refrigerate until serving.
