I don’t know about you but I love Egg Salad Sandwiches, especially because it contains mayonnaise. I love mayo but with bathing suit season coming up, I like to remove the mayo because of all the calories and fat that it contains. Instead I like to add Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) with a pinch of salt and pepper. I eat the eggs with some no-salt crackers and that is either my breakfast or lunch. It fills you up without the feeling of guilt afterwards. I also love to use olive oil because it is also great for your skin; keeps your skin smooth and supple. I use it almost everyday and I put in virtually everything I make. Salads, pasta, potatoes, rice, meats and the list can go on and on.
Here is what EVOO is also great for:
*It raises the good HDL cholesterol and lowers the bad LDL cholesterol. Basically it doesn’t clog you arteries. It’s good for your heart and it lowers your risk of cancer.
*It’s great for your hair too. It leaves it smooth and shiny.
*If you’re prone to headaches like me, try some olive oil to ease the pain. EVOO contains oleocanthal which is a natural compound, like ibuprofen, blocks pain-producing and inflammatory substances — but without the risk of stomach upset.
*It can be used as a moisturizer for those rough hands, knees and elbows. I also use it for my dry heels before going to bed. I rub EVOO on my feet, put on some socks then go to bed. In the morning, my feet are soft, smooth and I don’t have to feel embarrassed when I wear sandals because my feet are not dry looking.

Who knew that it could be good for so many things? Seriously, a headache??Wow.
I too love mayonnaise, probably far too much. I would have never thought to use olive oil for egg salad but it sounds good! Olive oil is one of the greatest foods, and I love how it smells.
Olive oil rocks! How do you use it to fight headaches? Drink a teaspoon of it? Or rub it on your head?
How do you use it to make your hair all shiny?
I once knew a woman who swore by olive oil for cradle cap…
