ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 1 1⁄2 cups mayonnaise
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh green onion
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1⁄2 cup sliced black olives
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 12 ounces grape tomatoes
directions
- Add 6 quarts water along with 3 tablespoons vinegar to a pan along with eggs and bring to a boil. Boil eggs for 12 minutes. (The vinegar keeps the eggs from cracking).
- While eggs are boiling chop green onion and cilantro and place in large bowel. Add all other ingredients except for tomatoes and mix well.
- Remove eggs from pan and place into a second pan or bowel filled with cold water and ice to cover. Allow to sit for two minutes. Leave pan used for boiling on burner and continue to boil water. Return eggs to boiling water for 1 minute and then return to cold water and peel. Eggs should peel very easy at this point.
- After peeling eggs ensure all shell material is removed and washed and then slice egg into pieces. Add egg to mayonnaise mixture and stir together well. If salad is too dry add mayonnaise to individual preference.
- Refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour and then serve with the grape tomatoes sliced on bread of on a bead of lettuce.

Hello, I am a family man who has recently moved back home to the Southern Indiana area. I have worked a professional job that has taken me all over this country into a variety of ethnic and multi-cultural places. We have lived in Miami, Tampa, Washington DC and San Francisco just to name a few over the past years. My favorite hobby is cooking and I love to prepare dinners using the styles and variations from the places we have been. Presently I am looking to settle down into a routine 8-5 type job without all the travel and transfer. Family tells me I should open a restaurant.
