Notes & Tips

Choose clean olives:
Look for olives that are:
  • Brined or packed in olive oil, not canola or soybean oil
  • Free from citric acid, glucose, or chemical preservatives
  • Ideally organic or from a trusted source (Kalamata, Castelvetrano, or green olives in brine are all great)
Egg storage tip:
Hard-boiled eggs can be made ahead and stored in the fridge (unpeeled) for up to 5 days

Add ons:

  • Add cucumber slices or cherry tomatoes for extra crunch and fiber
  • Top the egg with herbs or dukkah for flavor and texture
  • Include half an avocado if you need a more filling snack
  • Make it a mini meal: Serve with sautéed greens or a spoonful of sauerkraut on the side
