Delicious Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad
This pasta salad is a match made in heaven! The delicious creamy flavor of deviled eggs paired with a macaroni salad loaded with goodies? You’re going to be the hit of every barbecue you go to in the summer! You have to give this a try, especially if you have lots of eggs leftover. This recipe makes such great use of them and this also makes a perfect side dish. Just look at how incredibly creamy this macaroni salad is. No dry pasta in my kitchen! I always make sure to load my pasta salads up with homemade dressing so even if you make it a day or two ahead of time, each bite will still be nicely coated.
Large eggs – You’ll need some large eggs to hard boil. Hey did you know you can hard boil eggs in your air fryer or the instant pot? Elbow macaroni – Is the pasta of my choice for this salad, but feel free to try other small types of pasta, such as small shells, farfalle, rotini, etc. Dijon mustard – I love the taste of Dijon in any deviled eggs, but feel free to use just plain yellow mustard if that’s all you have. Mayonnaise – Ever make your own mayonnaise? It’s so easy, give it a try with my recipe here, or simply use store bought mayo, either works. Pickles – I used dill pickles, but sweet will work just as well. Red onion – I love the taste of red onion in this salad, but if all you have is a regular yellow onion, then go ahead and use that. Celery – We need some celery for that crunch we love in a good macaroni salad. Black olives – I love black olives in this salad, they also add a bit more tang to it. Smoked paprika – You can add some in the salad or just sprinkle some paprika over the top of the salad. I used a smoked paprika, but you can use a spicy paprika, or whatever you have in your pantry. Chives – Because I always love a little green to garnish my dishes. Salt & pepper – You’ll need to season this salad with salt and pepper to your taste.

What Else Can I Add To My Salad?
I like to throw a lot of ingredients in this recipe like pickles, red onion, celery and black olives. Some people don’t like celery in their macaroni salads, so if that’s you, then simply don’t add them. I personally like the extra crunch you get from the celery. I love the saltiness that the pickles and olives give this salad. With a heavier and creamier dressing, that bit of zing really helps keep those flavors alive. Of course, this is your salad, so you can make it however you like! Here are a few ideas for mix-ins that would be great in this recipe:
Cherry tomatos Bell pepper Broccoli Cucumber Pickled hot peppers Feta cheese

While you can freeze this if you want, it is best served fresh. The pasta and veggies may become mushy after being frozen and thawed.
