How to Make Egg Salad With A Twist

  1. Gently place 6 large eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water.
  2. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Immediately remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for exactly 10 minutes.
  4. Drain the hot water and run cold water over the eggs for 30 seconds.
  5. Gently tap the eggs all over to create small cracks in the shell.
  6. Fill the saucepan with ice water and submerge the eggs for 10 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
  7. Peel the eggs under cold running water. This helps prevent sticking.
  8. Chop the peeled eggs coarsely and place them in a medium bowl.
  9. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions and 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives to the bowl. Mix gently.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish sauce, and 1 tablespoon olive juice.
  11. Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the egg mixture and gently stir to combine. Be careful not to overmix.
  12. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for optimal taste!
  13. Serve chilled on your favorite crackers, bread, or lettuce cups. Enjoy!
