Easy Olivey Egg Salad

If you grew up on egg salad with diced pickles and if you are an olive lover like me, you will love this egg salad with olives. I use pimento-stuffed green olives or kalamatas! It's so easy! All you have to do is mix up chopped boiled eggs with some olives, olive oil, and mayo and you're DONE!

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs chopped
  • 2 tbsp Kraft mayonnaise with olive oil
  • ¼ cup olives About ¼ cup pitted, sliced/chopped. I like the green Spanish Olives with Pimento or Kalamata Olives. (low sodium olives are okay, but you may need to add more herbs/spices to make up for the lack of salt)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Chop or dice your peeled, boiled eggs and place them in a medium bowl.
  • Add ¼ cup chopped or sliced olives. Kalamata olives are excellent, and green pimento-stuffed olives are fantastic!
  • Add 2 tbsp Kraft Mayo Reduced Fat Mayonnaise with Olive Oil. You could use Greek yogurt instead, or regular mayo.
  • Add 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. (optional)
  • Stir all the ingredients together and it's ready to serve. *For extra olivey egg salad, add 1 tbsp of olive brine!

Notes

  • Some people use Miricle Whip. I don't recommend it with this recipe.
As always you can modify this recipe to make it your own. Add diced celery if you would like, or add Greek yogurt, or more mayo. Add more salt, some pepper, or a dash of extra olive brine to make it extra olivey!
