Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ditalini pasta or small elbow macaroni
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta 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 eggs. Chop the 6 hard-boiled eggs into small, uniform pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, and sweet pickle relish. This creates your tangy deviled egg style dressing.
  4. Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs, red onion, and fresh dill to the dressing mixture. Stir gently until everything is well combined.
  5. Add the cooled, drained pasta to the bowl. Mix carefully until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
  6. Season the salad with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Cover the bowl tightly and chill the pasta salad in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to blend.
  8. Before serving this easy pasta salad recipe, sprinkle the top with a light dusting of paprika for color.

Notes

  • You can make this make ahead pasta salad up to one day in advance. Store it covered in the refrigerator.
  • If the salad seems too thick after chilling, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or extra mayonnaise to restore the creamy texture.
  • For an extra layer of flavor perfect for BBQ side dishes, add 2 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon as a topping.
