Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad is the perfect fusion of two picnic favorites—creamy deviled eggs and classic macaroni salad. It features tender elbow pasta tossed with chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayo, mustard, celery, and a dash of paprika, giving it that signature deviled egg flavor in every bite. Cool, tangy, and satisfying, it’s a hit at BBQs, potlucks, or as a flavorful lunch side.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz elbow macaroni (about 3 cups uncooked)

  • 6 large eggs

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced

  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish (optional)

  • Paprika and chopped chives, for garnish

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  • While pasta cooks, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit 12 minutes.
  • Transfer eggs to ice water to cool. Peel and chop.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
