Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 small beets, leafy greens removed
- 12 large eggs, hard boiled and peeled
- 1/4 cup onion, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 oz. smoked salmon, with 2 Tbsp. chopped
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill, plus extra for garnish
- 4 1/2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 small cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- Kosher salt and fresh black pepper
Instructions
- Place unpeeled beets in a small saucepan and cover with water. Cook over medium heat, partially covered for 20-25 minutes or until knife tender. Drain and cool. Peel the beets and grate using a large hole grater.
- Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolk and place in a medium bowl. Using a fork, mash the yolks. Add grated beets, onions, garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped salmon, dill, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites. Top with a slice of cucumber and smoked salmon. Garnish with dill. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Beets: You can skip the step of cooking your own beets and simply pick up cooked whole beets at the supermarket. I usually find them in the produce section.
- Leftovers: Assembled eggs are best served on the same day. Leftover deviled eggs can be refrigerated for several days but may not look as pretty.
