Egg Salad (for Salad or Sandwiches)

Makes about 2 cups

Everyone has a favorite recipe for egg salad and this is mine. The recipe came from my mother. I added the red bell peppers for color and flavor. You can adjust the ingredients to taste and make in any amount needed. This is delicious served as a salad or in sandwiches.

Ingredients

• 4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped green olives
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onions
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell peppers
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
• About 1/4 cup mayonnaise (can used light or reduced fat)

Mix together the first 6 ingredients. Gradually add the mayonnaise until salad is moist, but not too wet. Taste for flavor and adjust as needed. Serve as is or in sandwiches.

Notes: Jarred chopped pimentos can be used in place of the red peppers. Leftovers can be refrigerated in a covered container for up to three days.
