Making Egg Salad Sandwiches

Egg and Olive Salad

Ingredients:

• 8 hard-boiled eggs
• 3 Tbsp. finely chopped onion (optional)
• 3 Tbsp. finely chopped celery (optional)
• 6 Tbsp. finely chopped green (stuffed with pimento) olives. I always squeeze out the juice and save it for adding later.
• 2 tsp. olive juice (brine)
• 3-5 Tbsp. mayonnaise or sour cream (I prefer sour cream)
• 1/8 tsp. black pepper (optional)

Directions:

Chop eggs (yolks and whites together) very fine. Add all the other ingredients and mix well. Depending on the size of eggs you use, you may need a little less or a little more mayo or sour cream or you can reduce the olive juice a little.

When mixed very well, put salad into a covered container and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight. Allows flavors to "marry".

My hubby recently asked me about adding finely chopped black olives to this recipe, so we're going to try it next time, maybe Friday. He still wants the green stuffed olives as well, but he thinks the black olives will add another layer of flavor We'll see. They are pretty bland. Might make a better garnish. Any ideas, anyone?

Laurel's Egg Salad Sandwiches

This may very well be the best egg salad ever!

Approximate Time: 5 minutes

Yield: 4 sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 6 hard boiled eggs, peeled
• 2/3 cup mayo
• 1 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dill relish
• baby spinach leaves
• potato bread (or your favorite)

Steps:

1. Peel, rinse, and dry the boiled eggs.
2. Slice them and put them into a bowl.
3. Using a potato masher, carefully mash the eggs until all of the egg whites are cut up and the yolks are totally crumbled.
4. Add mayo and stir well to combine. I added the mayo 1/2 cup at a time so that I could adjust the creaminess.
5. Then add the relish, mustard, and garlic powder. Mix well.
6. Approximately 1/2 cup is enough for one sandwich. After putting the egg salad onto the bread, you can add spinach leaves for extra nutrition. Enjoy!

Spice Up Egg Salad

To your yellows along with all your other ingredients, add some Dash and it will zing up a dull dish for sure and a touch of turmeric for a finishing touch and you have a nice change up.
