Our mom always requests these healthy deviled eggs at our family get togethers. It’s one of our favorite go-to dishes for any event or even just to keep around as a quick snack. Traditional deviled eggs are loaded with mayonnaise ~ not so great. Skip the mayo and swap it with healthy hummus and Greek yogurt instead with our healthy recipe!

Deviled Eggs

Makes 6 servings

12 hardboiled eggs (save the yolks from 2 eggs)
2 hardboiled egg yolks
1/4 cup of your favorite hummus
1/4 dill relish (not the sweet kind!)
1 tbs yellow mustard
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tbs Greek yogurt
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Cut each egg in half and remove the yolks from the hardboiled eggs, and place 2 of them in a small bowl. Mash them up and add the remaining ingredients. Mix until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture into each egg and enjoy!
