An easy way to twist your deviled egg recipe for Easter.

The signs that Spring is coming are starting to show up everywhere. Blue Skies, Green Leaves, Vibrant Colors and Buzzing Bees all signs that Spring is breaking through, of course, Spring, means different things to different people. What does spring mean to you?

Spring cleaning?
Planting flowers?
Easter and hunting for Easter eggs?
Wearing flip-flops?

Maybe all of these, but most of the Easter. For me Easter means chocolate eggs(chocolate bunnies too),  fancy Sunday brunches, lots of hard boiled and decorated eggs and our family tradition deviled eggs, often with our leftover Easter eggs. Seems fitting, right? Of course. Contrary to classic deviled eggs this recipe is unique in that it doesn’t have mayonnaise and creaminess and healthy fats comes along with the avocado. The cilantro adds flavor while the red onion adds flavor and a bit of texture. No doubt, a keeper recipe!
