Equipment

  • 1 large pot
  • 1 colander
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 spoon or spatula
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 egg slicer (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • ¼ cup diced celery
  • ¼ cup diced pickles
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • to garnish fresh parsley optional

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  • In a separate pot, place the eggs and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool.
  • Once the eggs are cool, peel them and chop them into small pieces. You may also use an egg slicer to achieve a more uniform cut.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Add the cooked macaroni to the mixing bowl, followed by the chopped eggs, diced celery, diced pickles, and chopped green onions. Gently fold the mixture until everything is well-coated.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the salad is too thick, you can add a splash of water or additional mayonnaise to reach your desired consistency.
  • Chill the Deviled Egg Macaroni Pasta Salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
