Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup green olives (pitted and sliced)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup celery (finely diced)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and roughly chop them.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Step 4
Add the chopped eggs, green olives, celery, and green onions to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper.
Step 6
Transfer the egg and olive salad to a serving dish and, if desired, lightly sprinkle paprika over the top for garnish.
Step 7
Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve as a sandwich filling, on crackers, or alongside leafy greens.
