I love deviled eggs. A few years ago, I challenged myself to create a healthier version. I’m not a big fan of mayonnaise. It’s a processed food. And a delicate one, too. You have to be concerned about the raw eggs inside. Perhaps that explains my aversion. Or maybe it’s because many years ago, I made my own mayonnaise, from scratch. Then I made the mistake of putting it into chicken salad. And after a few days, it went bad. I didn’t realize it until I ate it. Ooopsie!
Aside from the raw eggs, I thought I could make a healthier version of deviled eggs by using olive oil instead of whatever unhealthy oil goes into mayonnaise. Plus, I can control the amount of oil better.
For myself, I also like this recipe because we just don’t keep mayo around in our house. You might think it’s weird. But I’ve thrown away so many barely used jars that I just quit buying it.
