Deviled In Disguise and Chic To Be Greek Dip

Tonight I made 2 appetizer-style recipes from the cookbook. One is an old favourite and one is new. I am using both as mid-afternoon snacks, and add-ons to my lunches and/or dinners.

Up first is the new recipe - Deviled In Disguise.

Yep, deviled eggs. The recipe calls for smoked salmon and I was nervous because I wasn't even sure if I like smoked salmon. I try to stick to the recipes as closely as possible to give a fair review - and that seemed like a pretty major ingredient to omit, so I went for it. I'm so glad I did! There is only a teeny, tiny bit and it makes the eggs taste awesome. Oh, this also goes down in history as one of the easiest and fastest recipes of all time. After the eggs were boiled and cooled, these took about 5 minutes to make.

This is my old favourite: Chic To Be Greek Dip

This is made with white beans, sour cream, dill, garlic and lemon juice. It is like a lemony-hummus. Then you top it with chopped veggies and feta. It makes a much, much larger batch than this - but I just separated this out for my serving tonight. I only add the fresh veggies and feta right before serving, so I couldn't show you the whole bowl it makes.
