With the Easter Holiday upon us, many people will be offering deviled eggs as an appetizer at their celebrations. I’m not a huge fan of deviled eggs, however, I do enjoy a good egg salad and thought I would create my own interpretation of an old classic to share with you. My Egg Salad Avocado Boats are a delicious alternative with tarragon, capers, and hot paprika, updating the old standby with new flavors and look. One of these delicious halves makes for a refreshing first course, before the main entrée. Two loaded halves could serve as a filling meal!
