Deviled Eggs "The Way I Like Them" - Round 2

So I've never re-tried a deviled egg recipe. But last week's "Deviled Eggs The Way I Like Them" was SO CLOSE to being great, I decided to tweak a few of the proportions and give it a go again! And the result was great!

I used less ranch dressing and mayonnaise, the combined total mixture of each was slightly less than 1/4 cup for 6 hard-boiled eggs. This not only reduced the amount of filling, which was WAY too much when I tried this recipe the first time, but also made the filling thicker. Also, I used dry rather than prepared mustard.

Recipe:

6 hard-boiled eggs
slightly less than 1/8 cup ranch dressing
slightly less than 1/8 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
seasoning salt to taste


Above: using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, I mixed both the ranch dressing and mayonnaise to total slightly less than 1/4 cup.



Above: adding the dry mustard, the sweet pickle relish, and the seasoned salt.
Above: the finished product, garnished with paprika.
So the taste, again, of this recipe was great. And the texture, finally, works out... as does the proportion. I'm glad I went back and retried this recipe, because these are pretty simple, easy-to-make, yet not bland deviled eggs.
Overall: 80 out of 100
Texture: 18 out of 20
Flavor: 18 out of 20
Uniqueness: 10 out of 20
Appearance: 17 out of 20 (2 additional points because the eggs didn't appear runny)
Ease of preparation: 17 out of 20
