Are you looking for a quick tasty appetizer to make for a party? Something with ingredients you probably already have at home?
This egg, onion and green olives dip is so speedy fast you will have time for makeup and hair before the party!
Your guest will rave about this easy-to-prepare dish. Try it and make a change from your usual store-bought dips – you will not be disappointed. Your guests will really like their toasts or pieces of bread covered with a zesty egg, onion and olive mixture.
The powerful and omnipresent onions, pungent salty olives cut through the richness of the mayonnaise that binds the eggs together in this take on the classic egg dip. Those ingredients ended up perfectly complimenting the other, what a great pairing!
If you love eggs as much as I do, you may also like this recipe.
This recipe has been adapted from Regina’s Remolado which everybody also loves.
As I don’t like olives, I take half of the recipe without olives, just before I incorporate the olives. It’s delicious and it is also a great dip base to throw in additional ingredients if you would like to use them, although I usually make up this basic version (with and without olives).
