Although we start every St. Patrick’s Day with a green bagel, each year we look for new, fun green dishes for our celebration.
This year it’s Avocado Deviled Eggs: Avocado replaces the mayo in this party classic.
This recipe, from Avocados From Mexico, yields 12 deviled eggs.

6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and cut lengthwise
1 fully ripened avocado from Mexico, peeled, pitted and diced

1 tablespoon minced jalapeño
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
Garnish: chopped fresh chives
Preparation
1. COMBINE the egg yolks and avocado in a small bowl; mash until smooth.
2. STIR in yogurt, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper; mix thoroughly. Stir in jalapeño and onion
3. SPOON into egg white shells, dividing equally. Arrange on a serving plate. Cover lightly with plastic wrap; refrigerate for up to 3 hours. Garnish with chives before serving.
RECIPE: GREEN EGGS & HAM
