Egg Salad with Olives

 


In today's culinary fare, we make egg salad with vinegar and oil, but back during World War 2 while eggs were available, oil and vinegar weren't. Those items were used for the war effort. Wives would stretch the eggs by hard-boiling a couple, mix with a bit of homemade mayonnaise, throw in a couple of sliced olives, and make a scrumptious lunch delight. My father used to tell me that his Cousin Kate would make him one every once in a while. While he loved green olives, I hated them until I was in my 40s. Now I love them, but haven't made one of his favorite Egg and olive sandwiches

Ingredients:

2 Eggs, Hard Boiled

12 Stuffed Olives

Mayonnaise

Instructions:

Chop the hard-boiled eggs and olives together. Add a spoonful of mayonnaise or enough to wet the mixture. Serve between slices of buttered bread.
