Deviled eggs. They were always a major hit at our family gatherings. They, of course, they were never the star of the food buffet but were always devoured within minutes. Grandma was the one who conducted the list of dishes needed for the major holiday gatherings.
It was like a ladder to climb. On the bottom rung, you brought the soda pop or chips. This step was geared towards the younger ones in the family who didn’t have much cooking experience.
It took years to climb the food ladder. Everyone had their “specialty” dish that they brought year after year. Grandma was known for her Swedish meatballs; Mom was an automatic shoo-in for bringing potato salad and baked beans, Aunt Linda was in charge of the veggie tray and deviled eggs, Aunt Nancy brought the buns, Uncle Billy always supplied a smoked ham and darn-it… I got stuck on the ladder rung of chips. Year after year, function after function… chips. At least there are hundreds of different flavors, so I was at least able to mix it up. lol
Thank goodness my younger cousins were coming of age to start the climb on the food ladder. This should have automatically bumped me up a rung or two… but it didn’t. Back then, I had a bit of a bad reputation with my cooking (Dad said I could burn water).
Finally, when I hit my thirties, I was nudged up a rung… I was so excited!! I was asked to make the deviled eggs! Whoooo-hoooo! The family trusts me with the deviled eggs!!!! I was floating on a cloud. I later found out that my Aunt Linda was going to be out-of-town and that is how I “earned” my promotion. Awe… fiddlesticks. Oh, well! I wasn’t going to blow this chance.
I bet your egg-specting some disaster story about how my eggs turned out with that sort of introduction… but no, there is a happy ending … they turned out great. :) So for those of you who are lingering on the bottom rung of the ladder on chip duty… stay strong, for soon. one day you too may get asked to bring the deviled eggs and when you do, give this recipe a try, it just might guarantee you a permanent promotion. :)
The “egg” filling makes up 2 cups worth. I don’t have a set amount of how many Deviled Tomatoes that this recipe will make because it will depend on the size of tomatoes that you use. Keep in mind that you don’t want them to be too large. Just about the size that yields 1-2 bites.

Yay…so excited! I really miss egg salad sandwiches and thinking this would be delish on some raw bread!!! Thanks, AS! xoxo

Salt fiend is going to try this recipe..think it will also be good with peppadew peppers. Not sure if they’re raw. Have ordered the salt from a new vendor since I haven’t seen it here….Houston is shopper’s Mecca, so I’m a little surprised. I must be looking in the wrong place!
Just a note-for the past week or so I am getting double emails from Nouveau Raw. Congrats on your Raw Chef Honors! You’re such an inspiration, Amie Sue. Amy
Good evening Amy,
I hope you enjoy this recipe. When you salt comes in and you make, please let me know your thoughts. I am sorry about the duplicate emails. There appears to be a glitch in the system and we are working on. Sorry about that. I hope to have it resolved asap! Thank you for the congratz. :) I appreciate that. Have a great evening, amie sue
Getting ready to make again for Easter gathering. Love this dish.

Looks yummy! Can’t wait to make this recipe…just ordered the kala namak.
Awesome Mozelle. I would love to hear what you think when your salt comes in and you make it. Enjoy! amie sue
Hello, I was just wandering what would be the difference if I used avocodos instead of the cashews. Is there a change in the flavor or just color?
Hello Melissa… yes there is a difference in flavor and color…but I have the option of avocado for those who can’t eat nuts. Both avocado and cashews offer a smooth, creamy texture that is nice and thick. Color wise, the avocado will be a dark color and can get a little on the brown side as it sits too long (thick guacamole) Have a great evening, amie sue
Thank you so much for this recipe. Once I got all the ingredients needed, this came together quickly and easily. And the taste…OMG! It’s spot on. This is going to become a ‘go-to’ recipe for me. Thanks again!
Your welcome Chris. Pretty amazing huh?! Bob requests these quite often… black salt?! Who knew! Have a wonderful weekend, amie sue (and thank you for commenting, I loved hearing from those who visit the site and try the recipes)
Made these for my Christmas tea. Delicious! Everyone liked them and their presentation really was nice on the plate.
I bet it was Gayle… I thought that they were adorable myself. :) Thank you coming back and letting me know. Have a blessed evening, amie sue
