I was looking for something different to do with Egg Salad. Loving olives made me think this would be interesting. I was skeptical when it came time to actually put the chopped olives into the egg mixture, but I did it anyway. I'm afraid its just not to our taste. I ended up putting in diced celery and alot more paprika to try to perk it up. Sadly, that may have made it worse. Oh well, back to my same old boring recipe. Thanks for posting anyway...I'm glad I at least tried it.

I made this as is and test tasted it to make sure is was suitable to out tastes. I love the idea of putting green olives in but it wasn't so good. Not enough crunchines and bland. Thankfully I was able to fix this by adding onion, celery, green pepper, a little mustard and about 1/2 a tsp of garlic salt. Turned out great after that as is the repcipe just isn't the greatest for us, it has a good base just needs some modifications to make a good egg salad sandwhich.

First egg salad I've ever made. I hit it with a bit of mustard. It really tasted good. I think it is the olives. I will make again.

Good base recipe but found it a little bland. I added about 1/4 cup of yellow mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Perfect for using those Easter eggs.

I grew up on this recipe minus the paprika and pepper. The more olives the better! I don't even like green olives! Just put a glob of mayo to your preferred creaminess in with the chopped eggs, add chopped olives, start with a little and add to taste. For even more flavor add a little of the olive juice! No salt needed!! I just wish it was filling.

This recipe was a great one for basics. For all those who found it too bland, you are suppose to be cooks add to it make it your own. I used Imported spicy Hungarian Paprika give it a good taste and kick, also increased the olives to give it a crunch,also added mustard, its a great recipe make it your own

Very good recipe, I omitted the olives because I dont like them. But the paprika gave it a nice touch. Use salt and pepper to your taste, adding a little bit at a time.

Probably my favorite egg salad recipe ever! Creamy and chunky, but not too much of either. The olives were also unique, but the recipe holds its own without them too.

This was very good. The olives give it an unexpected flavor. I didn't use paprika (out of it) but I added some salt and chopped celery. My four year old loved it!

I tried this recipe because it was published in the cookbook. I figured it must be great! I didn't think much of it. It was mushy, and rather bland. I did doctor it up with several other spices and that helped. I just think at that point you are creating a new recipe and not using the one provided. Not my thing at all. If you like very bland and creamy egg salad this may be right for you.

Very good! I love green olives, never thought to use them in an egg salad. I added a dash of Frank's hot sauce for some extra kick!
