Egg & Olive Salad

The light, briny taste of olives makes this salad a real treat. Besides being an excellent source of protein, eggs contain cysteine, an important amino acid needed to detoxify harmful chemicals and drugs.

2 large eggs (preferably organic or cage free), hard-boiled

2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Vegenaise (see Resources)

ΒΌ teaspoon mustard (Dijon is good, but any mustard will do)

4 to 6 green olives with pimientos, sliced

Freshly ground black pepper

Slice the eggs in an egg slicer, or slice them lengthwise, then crosswise into small cubes. Transfer the eggs to a small bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning. (Because of the olives, you probably will not need to add salt.)
