Source/Author: Mary

Instead of the classic deviled egg filling (which uses mayo or mustard), mashed avocado steps in to add healthy fats, a subtle buttery flavor, and a lovely green hue.

Ingredients:

• salt	to taste
• eggs	4
• red onion	1/2 (small size)
• bell pepper	1/2 (medium size)
• lemon	1/2
• pepper	to taste
• avocado (ripe)	1

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil and boil for 13 min over medium heat. Using a spoon, carefully transfer the cooked eggs into a bowl with cold water and let sit for 3 minutes. Remove from water, place on paper tomel and let cool completely.

2. Finely chop half of the onion.

3. Chop half of bell pepper.

4. Carefully cut the eggs in half. Put the egg white halves aside and mash the yolks with a fork or use a blender.

5. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Drizzle the juice of half a lemon over the avocado.

6. I a medium size bowl: combine onion, bell pepper, yolks and avocado. Add salt and pepper as much as you like. Stir until smooth.

7. Fill the egg whites with the avocado mixture.
