Print Recipe

A protein-packed twist on classic macaroni salad, combining the richness of deviled eggs with creamy pasta for a delightful dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz elbow macaroni
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp mustard
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Fill a pot with water, bring it to a boil, and add a pinch of salt. Toss in the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 7-8 minutes.
  2. Drain and cool: Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  3. Prepare the eggs: While the pasta is cooking, carefully peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop them into small pieces.
  4. Mix the dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, and sweet pickle relish until well-blended.
  5. Combine in one bowl: Add the cooled macaroni and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the dressing mixture, then sprinkle in the diced red onion, salt, and pepper. Mix gently.
  6. Chill it out: Cover the bowl and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Garnish and serve: Adjust seasoning if necessary, sprinkle paprika on top, and plate it up.

Notes

For a lighter option, you can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise and use egg substitutes.
