What a great idea to add smoked salmon (in my case Nova since I really do not like the taste of salt)to a deviled egg mixture. It would make the perfect snack or lunch or appetizers for a party!
Eerrm…YES PLEASE! It is so wrong to admit this….but I am not a huge fan of devilled eggs!! But THIS is right up my alley! 🙂
We didn’t color eggs at my house either. My little one isn’t big enough to enjoy it yet so it’s on hold for another year or 2. These deviled eggs sound so yummy! My husband will probably LOVE these!
We are still going strong on coloring our eggs each Easter, though I can see a time when that will come to a screeching halt in the not too distant future.:-(
Smoked salmon and capers pair so beautifully with deviled eggs. I could easily eat two or three of these as a meal.
