Combine the rich, tangy flavor of deviled eggs with tender macaroni in this creamy pasta salad. It is the perfect cold side dish for your next BBQ, picnic, or potluck gathering.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
  2. Peel the hard-boiled eggs. Carefully separate the yolks from the whites. Chop the egg whites into small, bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a medium bowl, mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are completely smooth.
  4. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Whisk this mixture until the dressing is smooth and creamy. This creates your tangy dressing base.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, chopped egg whites, chopped celery, and chopped red onion.
  6. Pour the creamy dressing over the pasta mixture. Gently fold everything together until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated.
  7. Stir in the sweet pickle relish.
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the deviled egg pasta salad for at least 2 hours before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle the top generously with paprika for color and flavor.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, prepare this creamy pasta salad recipe a day ahead. The chilling time makes a big difference.
  • If you are making this for a large crowd, double the dressing ingredients to keep the salad moist.
  • You can add 4 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon for an extra savory touch, though this recipe is great as a vegetarian pasta salad.
