I saw this idea in a magazine while waiting to check out my groceries a couple of weeks ago and I have been thinking about it since.  When my dad brought home a crazy number of eggs, I knew it was time to try something new to use up the bounty.  I adore deviled eggs and using them to kick up a salad into a meal is brilliant!

 

I served this with my gluten and dairy free French bread for a light dinner that really hit the spot.  🙂

Split the eggs in half lengthwise, removing egg yolks.  Using a fork, blend the ingredients with the rest of the deviled egg ingredients until smooth.  Scoop yolk filling back into the hard boiled egg halves.
Toss salad ingredients together and top with deviled eggs.  Whisk together dressing and drizzle dressing on salad.
