What a great deviled egg recipe - I think these are my new favorite. Loved the addition of the ranch dressing mix with the avocado and egg. I am taking this dish to a potluck tonight and I know there will be no leftovers. I plan to serve the salsa on the side so people can have a choice of eating them as they are or adding the dollop of salsa on top. Made for ZWT-8-Mexico/US SW.

This recipe is excellent ~ I too also found it in Southern Living. I will be making these time and time again.

We really enjoyed these. I really liked the flavor the pickle juice gave this. I found it tasted better without the salsa. But that's a personal preference. I will make these again thanks.
