Healthy and filling pickle deviled eggs are the perfect snack or appetizer that’s paleo and Whole30-friendly!
How was your Memorial Day, friends? Ours was so relaxing. We actually had zero plans so we ended up hanging out at home, working on some home projects, and finished up 13 Reasons Why. That show is preeeeetty intense, and deals with some serious issues faced by high school teens. If you’ve watched it like everyone and their uncle has, then you know what I mean. It’s a good one though. I highly recommend it!
Also, I did a LOT of cooking. Our grill was fired up almost every night, which inspired me to put together ideas for some delicious summer recipes. One of them being… these pickle deviled eggs!
This recipe was created by combining the 2 snacks I love having around at all times: pickles and deviled eggs. Deviled eggs are just so creamy and satisfying, that adding tangy and sour pickles to them is just the perfect flavor combo! I’ve been munching on these everyday and I just can’t get enough.
If you are planning a summer barbecue or gathering, I bet your guests will gobble up these pickle deviled eggs. It’s also a great recipe to make if you are doing the Whole30 or the RESTART sugar detox, especially when those cravings hit. All the healthy fats in these low carb pickle deviled eggs can help hold you over until the next meal while satisfying your hunger. Plus, it’s absolutely delicious!

Recipe Notes
*There are many ways to cook hard-boiled eggs, but I found that this method makes the best, easy-to-peel egg without the shell sticking to the whites. If you prefer another method, you can cook it in any way that works best for you!

I just made these. Very yummy! I didn’t add any extra salt because the pickle juice made them salty enough.
So glad you liked them!
So much YES to these deviled eggs!!! My family also makes them with pickles and that’s how I grew up with them – I can’t eat them any other way now. So yummy! These look delicious!

Sorry for the late feedback, I made these, the first time Dec 2017, these are excellent but I did do a change based on my location, I used duck eggs, and wow are they delicious, the family (Thai), loved them! I make these about once a month now, switching between duck and chicken eggs, and I always use my homemade pickles as well 🙂 Thank you Jean for a great recipe.
Thank you so much for your kind works! Made my day, and I’m so glad you like the recipe. I need to try it with duck eggs!
