It’s not that I eavesdrop on fellow diners when I’m enjoying a
meal out, but when I hear the word “marvelous” in a neighboring conversation
during a discussion of a recipe, admittedly my ears perk up. In this case
“marvelous” was paired with the words “Greek Egg Salad.” Intriguing, no? As a
lover of egg salad, I can assure you that I pondered this for the rest of my
meal, and continued to do so after I got home. The next day I came up with my
own version and it is, indeed, marvelous!

¼ cup finely chopped scallions
½ cup finely chopped, seeded tomato
¼ cup chopped Kalamata olives

This is probably the most creative egg salad recipe I've ever seen, and it looks soooo good in your photo! We are really out of the egg salad habit. I haven't made it in years. This will be my next try at it!
