Made this for lunch and really enjoyed it. Nice change from the usual. I didnt have olives, but am looking forward to adding them next time. Had to add a bit more mayo.

This egg salad is grand - I urge the use of a strong dijon as it adds an extra subtle bite to the recipe. The carmelized onions pack it with flavour - Thank you!

Tasty great change from ordinary egg salad. The carmelized onion gives off a subtle sweetness. I used a bit more mayo than 2 tsp...just enough to hold it together. Thanx for a great new egg salad. I will make this again .

Good idea-carmelized onion and egg, and delicious. I had to double the amount of mayo though, to get it to bind together. Even so, it's got a lot less mayo than most egg salads. Makes a great sandwich.
