Looking for easy spring egg appetizers for your next brunch, shower, picnic, or party? These Veggie Ranch Eggs and Bacon Ranch Eggs made with Litehouse Organic Ranch dressing come together quickly, and look beautiful on any spring table!
Spring and summer are some of my favorite times to entertain. Not only because the weather tends to be gorgeous outside, but also because the fresh produce is so colorful and amazing!
When planning spring menus, I know that deviled eggs are almost always on the table. But, let’s be honest: deviled eggs can, quite frankly, be a bit of a pain sometimes. Oh, they are delicious!
But, they do take some time… You have to scoop out the yolk, whip together with other ingredients, then masterfully pipe into the egg white boats that hopefully didn’t break while you were scooping out the yolks.
There are easier egg appetizers, my friends. Simply cut hard-boiled eggs in half, and top with beautiful fresh toppings.
So easy, right? Why complicate things when we don’t need to?
Easy Spring Egg Appetizers
I’ve got two super simple appetizer recipes using hard boiled eggs: one healthier version and one slightly more indulgent version.
Both of these egg recipes will make you look like the hostess with the mostest.
Easy Veggie Ranch Egg Appetizers
This appetizer is one of my favorite simple spring appetizers. I adore spring veggies, and you can honestly use any that strike your fancy. I topped hard-boiled egg halves with lightly sautéed asparagus, sliced radish, a tiny sprinkling of sea salt, and chopped chives. Then I drizzled some Litehouse Organic Ranch dressing over each one, and voila: instant stunning spring appetizer!
Easy Bacon Ranch Egg Appetizers
Now, for my fellow bacon lovers in the house, and for those friends and relatives who scoff at the sight of a veggie, these Easy Bacon Ranch Eggs are the answer.
Simply take the remaining hard-boiled egg halves and top them with cooked, chopped bacon bits. Then drizzle Litehouse Organic Ranch dressing over each one. Finish them all off with a sprinkling of fresh chives.
Done! Place the egg appetizers on pretty plates, and you’re all ready to enjoy the time with your friends and family instead of sweating it out in the kitchen.
Ideas for Easily Adding Organic Dairy-Free Flavor
Litehouse Organic pourable dressings truly make entertaining easy. With six organic, dairyfree flavors, such as Organic Lemon Herb, Organic Raspberry Vinaigrette, and Organic Balsamic Vinaigrette, these can be used for so much more than traditional salad dressings.
Some other recipe ideas for using Litehouse Organic pourable dressings:
● Add the Organic Caesar dressing to chicken, pork, and beef wraps for quick Caesar wraps.
● Marinate chicken in the Organic Ranch or Organic Lemon Herb dressing, then bake an easy
sheet pan chicken.
● Marinate beef skewers in the Organic Balsamic dressing before grilling.
● Add the Organic Ranch dressing to your favorite biscuit recipe for Ranch Biscuits.The possibilities are endless! You can find them in the refrigerated produce section at your local grocery store, and you can check out the store locator here to find a grocery store near you!

These photos are so amazing, Marlynn! Also, can I get a hallelujah for making a version of deviled eggs that doesn't involve getting the yolks out of the eggs, mushing ingredients together and trying to get it all back in the divot? YES to making life easier!
