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!
