Combine the rich, tangy flavor of deviled eggs with tender pasta in this creamy, crowd-pleasing cold pasta salad. This easy side dish is perfect for your next BBQ, potluck, or summer gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni or small pasta shape
  • 8 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 1 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 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. While the pasta cools, prepare the deviled egg dressing. In a medium bowl, mash the yolks from four of the hard-boiled eggs until smooth.
  3. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Whisk until the dressing is completely smooth and creamy.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, the remaining four chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped celery, red onion, and sweet pickle relish.
  5. Pour the deviled egg dressing over the pasta mixture. Gently fold all ingredients together until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the deviled egg pasta salad in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to blend.
  7. Before serving this crowd pleasing side dish, sprinkle the top generously with paprika for color.

Notes

  • You can make this make ahead salad up to one day in advance; the flavors improve overnight.
  • For extra texture, add 4 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon to the salad mixture.
  • If you prefer a tangier dressing, increase the yellow mustard to 3 tablespoons.
