Ingredients
 

For the Pasta Salad:

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni or your choice of pasta like shells or rotini
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs peeled
  • 1/2 cup celery finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish or chopped pickles

For the Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup mustard yellow or Dijon depending on your preference
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar optional, adjust to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Pasta:

  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.

Prepare the Eggs:

  • Slice each hard-boiled egg in half. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a separate bowl. Chop the egg whites and set aside.

Make the Dressing:

  • In the bowl with the egg yolks, add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar (if using), and salt and pepper. Mash and stir the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Combine the Salad:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, chopped egg whites, celery, red onion, and sweet pickle relish.
  • Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and stir gently until everything is well coated.

Chill and Serve:

  • Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and adjust seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with paprika for color and a hint of smoky flavor.
