Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad

A delightful twist on classic macaroni salad, combining creamy flavors and the nostalgia of deviled eggs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your elbow macaroni and cook according to the package directions until al dente—about 8–10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.

  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and mustard, whisking until creamy. Adjust mustard to taste.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cooled macaroni, diced celery, chopped red onion, and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Pour dressing over mixture and fold gently.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
  6. Transfer salad to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  7. Before serving, stir gently and sprinkle paprika on top.

Notes

This salad can be made a day ahead for improved flavor. Adjust the creaminess with additional mayonnaise or pickle juice if needed.
