Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 8 large eggs
Pasta
- 1 lb elbow macaroni
Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Additional paprika, for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 9-10 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, peel, and chop into small pieces.
- Cook macaroni: Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Combine salad: Add the cooled macaroni to the dressing and mix thoroughly. Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs and chopped green onions, if using, to maintain texture.
- Chill the salad: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to chill properly.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle additional paprika over the top for color and extra flavor, if desired.
Notes
- For best flavor, refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving.
- You can substitute yellow mustard with spicy brown mustard for a different flavor profile.
- Add celery or red bell pepper for extra crunch and color.
- This salad keeps well for up to 3 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
