Description

This pasta salad takes all the flavors of classic deviled eggs and turns them into a creamy, tangy, and satisfying side dish. It’s packed with hard-boiled eggs, tender pasta, and a flavorful dressing with a hint of mustard and paprika.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz elbow macaroni (or shell pasta)
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish (optional)
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

 

  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  • Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked pasta, chopped hard-boiled eggs, celery, red onion, and pickle relish (if using) to the dressing. Gently mix until everything is well coated.
  • Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

 

  • Garnish & Serve: Before serving, sprinkle with additional smoked paprika and fresh chives. Serve cold.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, add an extra tablespoon of mayo or sour cream.
  • If you like a tangier flavor, add more vinegar or a splash of pickle juice.

 

  • This salad can be made a day in advance—just give it a stir before serving.
