Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 8 ounces Macaroni Pasta provides structure and serves as the base; substitute with gluten-free pasta if needed
  • ¼ cup Cooked Chopped Bacon adds smokiness and crunch; omit for a vegetarian option or use turkey bacon
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Red Onion provides a sharp, sweet taste; omit for a milder flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Finely Chopped Celery adds crunch and freshness; substitute with diced bell peppers for a different flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Green Onion offers a mild onion flavor; can be replaced with chives
  • 6 large Peeled Hard Boiled Eggs adds creamy texture and rich flavor; use fresh eggs for best results
For the Dressing
  • ¾ cup Mayonnaise acts as the creamy dressing, binding all ingredients; Greek yogurt can be used for a lighter option
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard enhances flavor depth; yellow mustard is a suitable alternative
  • 1 teaspoon White Wine Vinegar adds tanginess; substitute with apple cider vinegar for a different flavor profile
  • 1 clove Garlic provides a subtle aromatic flavor; use garlic powder if fresh garlic is unavailable
  • ½ teaspoon Salt essential for seasoning; adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper essential for seasoning; adjust to taste
For Garnish
  • Paprika optional, but adds color to your salad; sprinkle generously for a visual pop

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add 8 ounces of macaroni pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. While the pasta cools, peel your hard-boiled eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Chop the egg whites into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly and fine.
  3. Add the cooked pasta to the bowl with the egg whites and mashed yolks. Then, fold in 2 tablespoons each of finely chopped celery, chopped red onion, and chopped green onion, along with ¼ cup of cooked chopped bacon. Stir gently to combine.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together ¾ cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar, and 1 clove of grated garlic. Season the mixture with ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
  5. Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta salad mixture. Use a large spoon or spatula to gently toss the salad until everything is well coated with the creamy dressing.
  6. Once combined, transfer your Creamy Deviled Egg Pasta Salad to a serving bowl. Garnish it with a sprinkle of paprika and additional chopped green onions. Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
