Egg and Olive Salad

IMG_3264

Amy- I know this may sound a little strange, but strange is my middle name. I am here to tell you that eggs and olives make a great little combo. The strong salty briny olives work wonderfully with the egg salad. It is great for a sandwich, served on a bed of salad greens or served as a dip. Amy and I do love us some dip and are known for turning just about anything into a dip.

Egg and Olive Salad
Things you will need-

6 cups water
6 eggs
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons green olives with pimentos, chopped
¼ cup mayonnaise
Salt and Pepper to taste

Make this crazy concoction- This is so simple. Put you some water in a large boiler and add the eggs and vinegar. FYI- adding vinegar softens eggshells and makes for easier peeling. We are all about some easier work. So, go on and try it. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat and put a lid on it. Leave the eggs in the water for 10 minutes. This makes a perfect boiled egg. Remove the lid and run cool water over the eggs. Next, peel eggs and chop finely; I use a potato masher and it works perfectly. Combine your eggs, onions, olives, mayo and salt and pepper. That’s it, we told you it this was easy. Now go on and make you a bend back. If you don’t know what a bend back is, it is when you take a peice of bread and fill half of the piece with the egg salad and bend the bread back over to make you a half of a sandwich.

Cucumber Sandwiches

Cookbook 036

These dainty little sandwiches are always a hit. They are so simple and very tasty. We use these a lot for showers and ladies luncheons. They just scream southern.

Cucumber Sandwiches

Gather-
1 loaf bread
2-3 cucumbers
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup mayonnaise
2-3 tablespoons (or to taste) Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning blend, plus additional for sprinkling

What you need-
This is how we make the sandwiches and catch up on all the latest gossip. Get your girlfriends together, gather around the table and start you an assembly line. Have someone cut the bread rounds out using a small round cookie cutter. Have someone else get the cucumbers ready by scoring the unpeeled cucumber using a fork. Then slice the cucumbers thin. That makes the cucumbers so pretty. Drain cucumber slices on paper towels; you don’t want a soggy cucumber sandwich. You combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise and Mrs. Dash in a small bowl. Spread cream cheese mixture on each bread round and let your girlfriend add the sliced cucumbers. Pass it down to be seasoned and garnished with Mrs. Dash. Put these pretty little sandwiches on a silver tray and garnish with fresh flowers or parsley. Make sure to make plenty of these sandwiches because the girls think of these sandwiches as being healthy and will eat a bunch of them.
