My favorite parties are the kind you can show up with your hair in a ponytail, potatoes smeared on your shoulder from feeding your infant earlier that day, and shoes are optional. Lately those are the only parties we attend – and they are usually in the form of a potluck, BYOB, “show up whenever” kind of shin-dig.
Once upon a time my husband and I were living in Washington, DC and had a fabulous social life of wining and dining, hosting couples’ dinner parties, and work travel that took me to the best hotels, restaurants, and bars. It was a time when high heels were my only form of footwear, makeup was never optional, and taking a shower wasn’t a luxury, it was the norm.
It’s funny how babies change all that. And yet, everything in life is better and richer, despite being smelly, stained, tired, frumpy, and simple. But when we have the opportunity to meet up with good friends and bring a dish to share, admittedly I want to show off just a ‘lil. Maybe attempt to be fancy once again. I figure it’s like riding a bike and naturally comes back.
All you need are hard-boiled eggs, a package of smoked salmon, avocado, cilantro, and homemade paleo mayo.
Nothing is easier, prettier or more impressive than these smoked salmon avocado deviled eggs. I mean seriously, this food is pretty. The combo of flavors smack you along side the head just like little flailing hands during a tantrum. I love the deep flavor of smoked salmon combined with the light and refreshing taste of cilantro and avocado. Out of smoked salmon? No problem. I am positive that shrimp would be delightful, as would a delicate pile of crab meat. You could probably put toilet paper on these puppies and they would still taste good. So feel free to mix it up to your liking.
These deviled eggs are perfect for a healthy, light lunch so be sure to double or even triple the recipe for leftovers. Plus, they are Paleo, Whole30 compliant, low-carb and gluten-free!
So next time bring these finger foods to share and when you receive tons and tons of praise, just wave that once perfectly manicured hand and say, “oh it was nothing” while secretly giving yourself mad props for a job well done! And while you’re at it, post a picture or two in Instagram and tag me @physicalkitchness.
Time Saver Tip
Hard boil a batch of eggs to have on hand at the beginning of the week for power snacks and to cut on prep time when creating these smoked salmon avocado deviled eggs. I also make homemade mayo to have on hand to use here, and for an addition to easy, quick lunches like tuna salad, chicken salad, and turkey wraps.

Hi Hayli – Mmmm gotta try them. If you aren’t a fish person you can always omit the salmon 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
mmm! I love devilled eggs so much, and i bet the smoked salmon is a great addition. I need to make these more often as a mid day snack
Such a great mid-day snack! I loved deviled eggs too, and avocado, and salmon, and cilantro. Soooo yeah I guess all together it makes perfection! 😉
It’s not something that I’d like but I love how you’ve made it! Great! 🙂
Thanks Aishwarya!
I love deviled eggs…and smoked salmon…and avocado! Such a winner!
I KNOW right?! Oh and cilantro. It’s a nice ‘lil garnish to make these over the top. Thanks Karissa!
Oh my these look delicious! I will have to try them.
Marissa, you may never want to go back to regular ‘ole deviled eggs after trying these! 🙂
These are the perfect dish to pass for a brunch- I’ll definitely be pinning for later. Thanks for sharing!
I stopped by from Inspiration Monday.
Thanks Jessy. These would be perfect for brunch! Thank you for stopping by and for the Pinterest love 🙂
This is such a great idea!! I make deviled eggs all the time and never thought about this combo! Definitely going to try it – will pin for later! thanks 🙂
Thank you Nikki! Deviled eggs are the best! I really don’t make them enough (maybe because I have no self restraint when I make a big batch). 🙂
I love deviled eggs! Now I too can be fancy shmancy and bring these to the next get-together!!
YES! Fancy shmancy it up!
This sounds delightful!! Your pictures are gorgeous!!
Thank you so much Lindsay!
I LOVE smoked salmon and I love deviled eggs… the 2 combined sound amazing. I will have to try this. Thanks for sharing!
It’s a great, savory and healthy combo! I hope you love them as much as I do Christina!
WOW! Smoked salmon on a deviled egg!? Umm yes please!
Smoked.salmon.on.a.deviled.egg BOOM. I am glad you agree Bianca! Thanks for stopping by.
I love avocado on everything!! I never had it with salmon…. I don’t know why… but I will try it!!
I know! I could eat avocado all day long. And on everything. We are on the same page here 😉 Thanks Ludmilla!
Wow, I’ve never had deviled eggs quite like this before! Sounds amazing!!
Thanks Kelly! I hope you loved these as much as I do. Seriously I could stuff my face all day long with them…It’s a problem.
Lovely post! Those look so good! I bet those flavours blend beautifully!
Thank you Heather. Yes, the flavors are all so unique but work so well together. I appreciate you stopping by!
These look AMAZING! I never would’ve thought to add smoked salmon to deviled eggs. It sounds so luxurious and fancy! Totally making these in the future!
Thank you Evi. I try to pretend I’m luxurious and fancy but I’m really not. But at least the food is! I appreciate you stopping by!
DROOLING right now! This looks amazing! Great blog 🙂
Thank you so much Julie!
Haha I love this, I am totally going through the same ‘party scene’ as you right now….I showed up to a potluck on Saturday night with avocado on my dress because it was taking me that long to get the kids out the door, there was no way I was going back in to get changed once I noticed it! These sound absolutely delicious, and perfect for a gathering of friends!
Oh messy, frazzled momma can we be friends?! I totally get it! You are welcome to come to my house anytime, stained and all! 😉
That looks delicious! I might add some green onions for crunch.
Oh that sounds yummy! Great idea Nikki. Thanks!
These sound DELIGHTFUL. I will definitely be pinning these for the next time we have a dinner party. And by dinner party I mean a casual get-together where yoga pants are the only acceptable option.
Thank you Ashley! Let me know when you have your next spandex-only dinner party and I’ll be there!
I absolutely love smoked salmon but never would have thought to add them to a deviled egg – what a great idea! These look like the perfect appetizer to bring to a party. Pinning!
Thank you Joanie. I hope you impress everyone at your next shin-dig!
Delicious! I love deviled eggs, this one is a must try.
I bet if you already love deviled eggs, you might become obsessed with these! Thanks for stopping by Ros!
Ok so I don’t normally like raw fish (only if it’s deep fried rolled in rice). But I think I started drooling when I saw these. Homemade mayo, avocado and eggs? Swoon. Def pinning this for the next “shin-dig” I attend.
Um also, question – I still like attending parties with a ponytail, food splatter on my clothes, and no shoes. But I don’t have kids. Acceptable?
Ummm TOTES acceptable (I don’t judge). I’m tellin’ ya, I look like a hot mess 99.9% of the time, so we would be perfect dinner party companions! Thanks so much Megan!
I know a lot of people who would love these at parties! Thanks for linking up with best of the blogosphere.
My pleasure Kendra. Thanks for hosting!
