Create the best creamy and tangy Deviled Egg Pasta Salad, a crowd-pleasing side dish that combines the rich flavor of deviled eggs with tender macaroni. This recipe is perfect for potlucks, BBQs, and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 8 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 1 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions until tender. Drain the pasta and rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the eggs: roughly chop the hard-boiled eggs, ensuring some yolks remain slightly mashed for the dressing.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooled, drained pasta, chopped hard-boiled eggs, celery, sweet pickle relish, and red onion.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the dressing is smooth and uniform. This creates the tangy mustard dressing.
  5. Pour the dressing over the pasta and egg mixture. Gently fold all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the Deviled Egg Pasta Salad in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle the top generously with paprika for color and flavor.

Notes

  • You can make the hard-boiled eggs and the dressing up to one day ahead of time. Store them separately in the refrigerator.
  • For an extra Southern flavor, consider adding 2 tablespoons of sweet pickle juice to the dressing mixture.
  • This salad is a great make ahead picnic salad; the flavor improves after chilling overnight.
