"Enjoy the classic appetizer on a bed of lettuce, surrounded by tasty peppers, bacon, and onion. A homemade dill vinaigrette covers the whole salad with light herb flavor."

This was a fun salad to try! Not sure if I would put deviled eggs in a salad again, but they were very good. Thank you for posting!

I scaled the recipe down for one, totally enjoyed all the flavors! I used veggie bacon bits. Thanks Annacia!

This was a terrific salad! The dill brought a unique taste that went well with the eggs and I loved the vinaigrette. I reduced this to 1 serving (except the dressing, which I made the full amount of) and left out the green onions. This salad made a delightful light lunch - thanks for posting the recipe!

I adore this salad! I haven't used a lot of dill in my lifetime, and wouldn't have made a vinaigrette with it had I not seen this interesting salad recipe. The dill brings a dominant, powerful zing to this crisp, full flavored salad. All the ingredients are likely to be in your house, so, why not make this dill flavored Deviled Egg Salad anytime? Delicious!

Nice flavors in this salad. I did cut the recipe back to serve 2, but made the complete dressing and omitted the hot peper sauce. I can't handle too much heat. Made for Adopt an Orphaned Tag '07.:)
