Kittencal's Egg or Tuna and Olive Salad Sandwiches

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This is so good you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the bowl for a taste! ---it's great in a sandwich stuffed in a pita or scooped on a large lettuce leaf, I have served this many times for a luncheon get together and everyone loves it! --- the amounts listed are usually what I use for 8 eggs but the exact measurements do not really matter just use whatever you wish for the amount of eggs you make, I purchase the pimento-stuffed olives for this and I say the more you use the better! after slicing the olives make certain to hand-squeeze out as much of the moisture as possible --- plan ahead slightly the mixture needs to chill for a few hours before using.

Count on Kittencal for another great recipe. I have 4 children 8 and under... I know how much time it can take to post a recipe. I thank Kittencal and so many others who are willing to help make the world of cooking better and easier for others.

This is a keeper that the kids love and great for eating on a budget. : )

As always, an awesome dish! I used 4 eggs and 1 can of tuna. The only other adjustments that I made were to add a celery stalk for some crunch & I ended up using about 1/2 cup mayo instead of 1/3 cup. I also added in some cajun seasoning along with the cayenne and a smidge of mustard to add some zip. Had this for lunch every day until it was gone! Easy, tasty, and filling! Thanks Kittencal :) I'll be using this one often!

Fun egg salad! I think, though, for us (using seasoning salt), it is a little on the salty side. Other than that I will definitely make again, just cut back on the salt portion. Thanks Kittencal for a different egg salad.
