As the last of the Easter eggs become egg salad, green olives in egg salad, yes or no? If yes, where are you? Trying to figure out where it’s common. My wife and I believe that green olives belong in egg salad, but my coworkers say no.

    My egg salad sandwich at a Colorado courthouse cafeteria yesterday did not have olives in it. I’m not sure I’ve seen that before. But I could totally see it, especially since I’ve seen an olive since garnish on a deviled egg which is basically egg salad with the white as a boat for the rest. That was probably in the Midwest

    I’m particular about the temperature at which I eat eggs. Personally couldn’t do cold egg salad at all.

    Olives do not belong in egg salad.

    I mean, if you put it in because you like it, that’s fine. You do you. But I wouldn’t eat it.

    My mom made egg salad with Miracle Whip and sweet pickle relish, plus a little mustard, salt, and pepper. She grew up on a farm in Michigan.

    I don’t eat egg salad anymore, but I would add green olives, I like them.
