Avocado deviled eggs

Dietician's Tip

Avocados are a good source of monounsaturated fat. Egg yolks are a good source of lutein, which may protect vision.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs, hard boiled
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
  • 2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Directions

Cut eggs lengthwise and remove yolks. Discard half of the yolks.

In a medium bowl, combine the rest of the egg yolks, avocado, lime juice, mayonnaise, half of the parsley, cayenne pepper and garlic. Spoon mixture into egg whites. Garnish with the rest of the chopped parsley.
