This is so good you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the bowl for a taste! ---it's great in a sandwich stuffed in a pita or scooped on a large lettuce leaf, I have served this many times for a luncheon get together and everyone loves it! --- the amounts listed are usually what I use for 8 eggs but the exact measurements do not really matter just use whatever you wish for the amount of eggs you make, I purchase the pimento-stuffed olives for this and I say the more you use the better! after slicing the olives make certain to hand-squeeze out as much of the moisture as possible --- plan ahead slightly the mixture needs to chill for a few hours before using.

3 sandwiches (change servings and units)

    Far from a wimpy egg salad! The olive flavor predominates, so I would call this an olive salad (it took a 10-oz jar of manzanilla olives), with the intensity toned down by egg salad. I used Season All, pepper and a dash of cayenne pepper; the black pepper stood out to my taste buds. It brought back memories of MDM who loved olives in her sandwiches. The tastes worked well with flax multi-grain bread as a sandwich. Thanks for posting, Kittencal, this makes an excellent lunch! Made for Zaar Cookbooks Tag.

    If you love egg salad and green olives you'll love them combined in this salad. Had it in fresh pita bread and with crunchy lettuce for today's lunch.

    The olives were so nice in this. Did not even miss the dill which I almost always use in an egg salad.For spices I used 1/8tsp cayenne, 1/2tsp salt and 1/2tsp dry mustard powder. Did not add any pepper since the salad had enough peppery taste from the cayenne. Easy to make and very tasty. Thanks for posting.
