If you're looking for a healthy snack of appetizer for St Patrick's Day, these green deviled eggs are the perfect solution.
My mom adds hard boiled eggs to her guacamole, so I thought why not add guacamole to hard boiled eggs? The results were lovely, and since I was testing them out for the blog, I actually enjoyed them for lunch.
These are a fun, "clean" snack or appetizer, not just as a green food for St Patrick's day, but for anytime of the year. Loaded with a good dose of healthy fats and perfect for any dietary restriction – vegetarian, gluten-free, weight watchers, low-carb, paleo, and more!

Sodium: 30 mg (without salt)
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs, hard boiled (recipe here)
- 1 medium haas avocado
- 2-3 tsp fresh lime juice

Directions:
Peel the cooled hard boiled eggs.
Cut the eggs in half horizontally, and set the yolks aside.
In a bowl, mash the avocado and 2 whole egg yolks; discard the rest. Mix in lime juice, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, salt and pepper and adjust to taste. Gently fold in tomato.
Scoop heaping spoonfuls of the guacamole into the 12 halved eggs. Sprinkle with a little chile powder for color and arrange on a platter.
You just gave me a great idea! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a guac girl but the color is too pretty to not use in some form and the Mr LOVES deviled eggs!
I love this idea and can't wait to try it out. Do you have issues with the avocado turning brown? Meaning, if I make it the night before and put it in the fridge, will they be brown the next day?
ReplyDeleteAdd lemon juice. Keeps from browning for a couple days.
DeleteKeep the pit/seed submerged in the guac up until its time to serve. My Mexican friends taught me that trick to keep it from discoloring.

ReplyDeleteI am diggin' every part of this. I love deviled eggs and guacamole almost equally (deviled eggs may have a slight edge), and this looks like the perfect way to marry the two.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! Thats so clever to use guacamole!

looks really delicious ! i have to try !
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea these are! They look so delicious and perfect for parties!
ReplyDeleteDeviled eggs without mayo?! I am sold!! I love avocados too so this is like a snack made in heaven! Must.Pin.Now!
ReplyDeleteUm, yum! Guacamole and deviled eggs are two of my favorite appetizers! So this perfect!
ReplyDeleteGenius! I hate mayo, so I might actually like these deviled eggs! Thank you for posting such a festive recipe!
ReplyDeleteLauren, I HATE mayo, but I adored these. They were so delicious!
Deleteoh my this is lovely. I love deviled eggs but addition of mayo just kills it- avocado- yum!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you all like the idea!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about this idea! Its a marriage of two things I LOVE! Also, I tried your Crock Pot Sesame Honey Chicken last night and it was a home run! My husband and toddler son loved it and I'm about to wrap some up in lettuce for lunch today. Keep the crock pot meals coming!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! So healthy, easy, unique, and looks delicious! Bravo!
ReplyDeletesuch a good idea!! so happy i just found your blog.
ReplyDeletewww.kaleandcoriander.com
What a brilliant idea! Why didn't I ever think of this?! thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely on the menu for Sunday along with Corned Beef & Cabbage!
ReplyDeleteHmm... I might actually eat deviled eggs if I made them like this!
ReplyDeleteWow, these look great! And such a festive idea for St. Patrick's day
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea! Just a helpful hint. Whenever I make deviled eggs, I find it handy to use a disposable sandwich baggie. Just fill it with the gooey ingredients/filling for the hard boiled egg halves, and close the top. (I prefer the zipable closure kind) Then clip off the corner of one end at bottom of baggie. Simply squeeze the ingredients into the egg "cup" and you have a simple, clean way to fill the eggs! You can control the amount in each egg and even add a creative twist to the top when you really get the hang of things! HA!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to give this a try! Thanks!!! I just LOVE your ideas!
I had to give up deviled eggs, as they are a trigger food for me. However, I think that at 1point+ a piece, and being filled with yummy (not triggery) guac, these may be the option I've been looking for!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I have often made egg salad with avocado in place of the mayo, adding the additional flavor of the Guac is something I know I would love. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteMaking these for my passover seder dinner. Can't wait
ReplyDeleteMaking these for my passover seder dinner. Can't wait
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! By any chance do you have a how to: hard boiled eggs post?
ReplyDeleteYes, I do! The best recipe! I should have linked to it, I will link to it above in the recipe list.
DeleteGreat idea for deviled eggs!
ReplyDeleteI love guacamole AND I love deviled eggs; why oh why did I not think of this myself?! Cannot wait to make.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And, I LOVE that you gave the nutritional values and WW points too!
ReplyDeleteI assume these are super guacy given you use only 2 of the yolks. What about using half of them (3)? Besides not being a huge guac fan, I feel bad wasting.
ReplyDeleteSure, you can, but it increases the points to 2 each.

I am thinking these would make a good egg salad sandwhich too... YUM
ReplyDeleteummmm....yeah these are absolutely perfect!

ReplyDeleteI pinned this recipe last night, and had a co-worker make it today during work (ha!). They are AMAZING. 44 calories a pop? That's too good!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I will be making these. But, who adds mayo to deviled eggs? Bad idea and I love mayonnaise. ALWAYS only my favorite mustard with the required paprika on top!
ReplyDeleteWow.. Great Idea.. I am definitely going to give it a try
ReplyDeleteWow, I wish I'd seen this a week ago- I just threw my daughter a Dr. Seuss party and just added green food coloring to deviled eggs to make the green eggs and ham thing, but this would have been so much more delicious! And, since I just can't get past the taste/texture of the yolks (especially when mayo is added- yuck), this might be the perfect solution for me. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteUmmm is this heaven? My two favorite foods combined! can't wait to try this out!
ReplyDeleteThese were wonderful. We took them to a St. Patrick's day party this weekend and won an award for best side dish. We'll be making them again!
ReplyDeleteYay, I love hearing that!!!
DeleteThese looks and sounds AMAZING!!! Pinned ;) Thanks so much for sharing!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with the other four egg yolks?
ReplyDeleteInstead of "discarding" the other 4 yolks, dice them and put them in your bird feeder. Many birds LOVE cooked yolks, and birds that normally won't come to your feeder for seed (insect eaters) WILL come for yolk...
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing!! Must try them!
ReplyDeleteFeatured these on my blog today! Thanks for the great recipe!

Anyone make these the night before for a morning event? How did they look/taste?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so delicious! I featured this recipe on my blog as a great way to use hardboiled eggs. I'm definitely going to try it!

What a great idea! I love guacamole but the idea of eating a ton of chips to consume it is not so appealing.....problem solved!
ReplyDeleteI tried this just now, WOW! Absolutely amazing, my boyfriend and I loved it!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe. So easy to do and yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great new take on deviled eggs!
ReplyDeleteI am the Deviled Egg maker in my family.
ReplyDeleteMy sisters & one brother are from Guatemala & the youngest sis is graduating from college this Sat. The party is gonna be on Cinco Dé Mayo. So yay I get to try these out, I can't wait!! ;)
Thank you sooo much for that "GREAT" recipe!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious. Will try it tomorrow!
I'm anxious to try this. I love deviled eggs but have never been able to eat egg salad. (I think it is the amount of Mayo in it that turns me off.) I might make the deviled eggs with guests coming then save those extra yolks and make some guaca/egg salad the next day on whole grain bread!
ReplyDeleteNow that I think about it I might just boil a couple of eggs, use the yolks as directed and add the chopped egg white to the mix.
