Pastel Easter Deviled Eggs
  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Place the eggs in a large saucepan; cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Boil the eggs for 3 minutes; turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for at least 20 minutes. Drain and cover the eggs with cold water. Peel the cooled eggs.

  3. 3

    Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks; mash the yolks in a bowl with creamy salad dressing, dry mustard, salt, pepper, and hot sauce until smooth.

  4. 4

    Put red, blue, and green food coloring into 3 separate bowls and add about 1 cup water to each. Soak 8 egg white halves in each bowl to tint the egg whites pink, light blue, and green. If the color is too light, add more food coloring to the bowls. Drain the colored egg whites on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Pipe or spoon the egg yolk filling into the colored egg white halves; cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
