Classic recipe, easy, few ingredients – add more dry mustard/salt/pepper if desired
6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled, cut in half lengthwise
1/2 c. salad dressing
1/2 tsp. dry mustard (or cream-style mustard if you don't have the dry)
1/8 tsp. white vinegar (or dark, if you don't have white)
Salt/pepper to taste
Paprika to sprinkle on top
After removing yolks and mixing with seasonings, refill the whites. An easy way is to put the yolk mixture into a ziplock bag, mix them thoroughly, the cut off a corner of the bag and squeeze the yolk mixture into the whites. REFRIGERATE
Variations:
Add any of these, either one or more -
1 TBS finely minced onion
1 TBS finely chopped celery
1 TBS finely chopped stuffed green olives
1-2 tsp. horseradish
A few drops of "liquid smoke" – be careful, this is a powerful flavor
1 TBS sweet pickle relish
2 TBS ripe, mashed avocado
1-2 TBS cream cheese, softened
Chopped chives
Cooked, crumbled bacon
Finely chopped shrimp, crab, salmon . . .
My suggestion is to double the recipe, whichever one you choose. You may also adorn the top of the deviled egg with a toothpick which has a triangle-shaped "sail" stuck into it. Little sailboats.
