Olive Mayonnaise for Hot Dogs, Burgers, Chip Dip

Submitted by Burned Toast

"I first had this at a root beer stand. They top hot dogs with it, yum. Next, I found it at a Hot and Now fast food drive-thru on a burger. Again, yum. I was surprised it was not posted here already. This can be really salty if using a 1:1 ratio of mayo to olives, so I gave a range. You can add more mayo (or use less olives) to suit your taste. This will make just under 1/2 c of olive mayonnaise. Use to top hot dogs or burgers, or use as a chip dip. It's delicious! Note: To make it clear, you need to work with your ratio of mayo to olives. If it seems too salty, add more mayo. If it is too bland, add more olives. I cannot speak for how olive oil mayonnaise would affect the taste or saltiness, but adjusting the amounts should have reduced the saltiness. It IS salty, and that's what makes it good. It just doesn't have to be too salty."

It was good "in a pinch." My refridge. was kinda bare and I wanted to offer something with chips...this worked! Nothing to write home about, but kinda good.

Strangely addicting, but it's also hard to imagine going wrong with mayonnaise and olives--pretty basic and yummy. The amounts really do depend on the sodium content of both the mayo and the olives--I used Best Foods (Hellman's) and only 3 olives but they were colossal sized. As a dip, it was too pungent, especially since chips/cracker tend to already be well salted--I could see it working much better as a spread or topping that enhances other foods. Next time I may chop the olives so that they will be more evenly distributed throughout and less concentrated--then again, on a hot dog or a burger or sandwich, it would be easier to taste them in larger pieces. Great simple recipe to play with--thanks!

Way to salty here. I used Helmans olive oil mayonnaise to be soy free and very good, expensive pimento-stuffed green olives. I made it really good by turning it into Recipe #254972 with olives!
