drops blue, red or green food color, if desired
2
tablespoons mayonnaise

tablespoon hot dog relish

With small sharp knife, cut off top of each egg about 1/3 of the way down, either straight across or with small slanted cuts to make a sawtooth edge. Carefully remove top portion and yolk; reserve tops. Place yolks in small bowl.
