Devilled Egg Salad

Devilled Egg Salad can be described as egg salad with attitude. Deviled Eggs draw their unique flavor from the use of cayenne pepper. This ensures a lasting after-taste and that is why I prefer this dish as a light lunch rather than a side salad. As a side salad the flavor often overpowers the main course so you have to be careful what you serve it with.

People who find cayenne a little too fierce for their taste replace it with ground black pepper. Naturally the end result isn't truly devilled. But what the heck! You're preparing this to your own tastes, so use whichever you prefer. In cooking you can never be wrong, just different.
