For a richer flavor, consider using homemade mayonnaise or a high-quality store-bought brand. Smoked paprika adds a subtle depth of flavor that complements the olives beautifully. If you don't have smoked paprika, regular paprika will work. Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking. Some prefer a drier salad, while others prefer a creamier one. Serve chilled on toasted bread, croissants, or crackers. It's also delicious in lettuce wraps or as a filling for deviled eggs. A sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as chives or dill, adds a pop of color and freshness.
