    This deviled egg pasta salad is the ultimate side dish for any bbq, picnic, or potluck! You can even serve this as a main course for dinner, cause it’s that good. Loaded with hard-boiled eggs, sweet relish, and creamy dijon mustard.

    I absolutely love cold creamy pasta salads year-round but especially during those warmer months. Nothing beats a small serving of deviled egg pasta salad with a cold glass of classic lemonade. A perfect summer dish consists of Hawaiian sweet rolls, oven-baked bbq chicken, and pasta salad!

    Ingredients

    Boiled Eggs

    Elbow Macaroni – feel free to use any type of short pasta you have on hand such as cavatappi, rotelle, rotini, shells, etc.

    Mayo – I used Hellman’s but use your favorite brand.

    Red Onion – shallots and white onions are fine substitutions.

    Scallions aka green onions

    Sweet Relish – this will add a nice sweet taste.

    Vinegar

    Dijon Mustard – I prefer creamy grainy dijon mustard but spicy hot mustard or regular yellow mustard works too.

    Paprika

    Salt and Pepper

    Top Tips For The Perfect Deviled Egg Pasta Salad 

    • Make sure the pasta is completely cold. If you use hot or warm pasta it will result in greasy dry pasta salad.
    • Add a splash of water and a couple of tbsp of extra mayo before serving.
    • Enjoy with hot sauce.
    • If you don’t have vinegar, use lemon juice or pickle juice.
    • Want to make it spicy? Add some cayenne pepper or diced jalapenos.
    • If you want some crunch, add some celery and diced red bell peppers.
    • Finely chop 2 eggs and leave the rest chunky.

    Leftovers can be placed in an air-tight container and refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. For best results, make this one hour ahead of time and do not freeze.

    Enjoy!
