Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 12 oz elbow macaroni or small pasta shells
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped chives for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cook the Pasta and Eggs: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Meanwhile, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to ice water to cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Deviled Egg Dressing: Peel the cooled eggs and separate yolks from whites. Mash the yolks in a large bowl with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, paprika, and garlic powder until smooth and creamy. Chop the egg whites and set aside.
  3. Combine All Ingredients: Add the cooled pasta to the yolk mixture along with chopped egg whites, red onion, dill, and celery. Gently fold everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Before serving, garnish with additional paprika and fresh dill or chives.

Notes

For extra creaminess, use full-fat mayonnaise and let the salad chill for 2-3 hours before serving. Add a teaspoon of honey for a touch of sweetness that balances the tangy flavors. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
