Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 8 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 1 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions until tender. Drain the pasta and rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
  2. While the pasta cools, prepare the deviled egg mixture. In a medium bowl, mash the yolks from four of the hard-boiled eggs until smooth.
  3. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Whisk until the dressing is completely smooth and creamy. This creates the tangy base.
  4. Place the cooled pasta in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining four chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped celery, red onion, and sweet pickle relish to the pasta.
  5. Pour the creamy dressing over the pasta and mix gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the pasta salad in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to blend.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle the top of the salad with paprika for color and flavor.

Notes

  • You can boil the eggs a day ahead to save time when assembling this easy make-ahead salad.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding 4 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon to the salad mixture.
  • This cold picnic salad travels well; keep it well-chilled until serving time.
