Ingredients
Salad
- 8 oz dried elbow pasta
- 6 large hard boiled eggs
- 1/2 cup finely diced celery
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
Dressing
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 Tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add some salt (amount not included in the recipe - it's up to you).
Boil and drain
- Add dried pasta to boiling water, following package directions for al dente.
- Drain, then rinse well with cold water. Let pasta sit in the colander to continue draining.
Make dressing
- Slice hard boiled eggs in half, and separate egg whites and egg yolks.
- Dice the egg whites and set them aside.
- Add the egg yolks to a small mixing bowl and mash them with a fork. Alternately, you can add the yolks to a food processor and process until smooth.
- To the small mixing bowl, add the remaining dressing ingredients (mustard, sugar, vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper), and stir to combine well. Set aside.
Assemble salad
- To a large mixing bowl, add the drained and cooled pasta, chopped egg whites, diced celery, diced green onions, and diced red onion.
- Add the dressing, and stir to combine well.
Chill
- Cover mixing bowl tightly, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours, 2+ is best though.
Serve
- Before serving, stir salad to redistribute the dressing, then serve cold.
Notes
- I've estimated this recipe serves about 4, but feel free to divide it up into as many servings as you'd like.
- Recipe is easily doubled (just double all the ingredients).
