Ingredients for Deviled Egg Pasta Salad

To print: See recipe card below.

• 1/2 pound cooked elbow pasta – Any shape of small noodles will work!
• 6 hard-boiled eggs – Follow my guide to make perfect hard boiled eggs!
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika – Feel free to use smoked paprika for a subtle smokey taste.
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper – This is optional but I love using it to give the deviled egg salad a little bit of spice. You can also use a teaspoon of hot sauce for some extra flavor.
• 3 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup cooked bacon – Cooked, crumbled bacon adds a ton of flavor and texture. However, you can omit it if you want a vegetarian egg salad. 

Variations

• Use 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder in place of minced garlic.
• Use only egg whites to make the pasta egg salad a little bit lighter. Make 10 hard-boiled eggs. Then, discard the egg yolks, using only 10 cooked egg whites. 
• Add 2 Tablespoons of pickle juice, sweet pickle relish, or chopped dill pickles in place of the apple cider vinegar. 
• Add some chopped bell peppers to give the pasta salad a summery flavor and an extra crunch.
• Replace the mayonnaise with sour cream or unsweetened Greek yogurt for a lighter version. 
• Add red onion for a tangy flavor and a bit of crunch.

Directions for How to Make Deviled Egg Pasta Salad 

1. Prepare the eggs: If you haven’t already, boil your eggs in salted water to make hard-boiled eggs. Then, submerge them in cold water.
2. Peel the eggs: Next, peel the shells, and remove the yolks. Transfer the yolks to a medium-sized or large mixing bowl, and set them aside. Roughly chop the egg whites, and set them aside.
3. Combine: Use a fork to break the egg yolks into fine crumbles. Then, add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, garlic, kosher salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
4. Add the remaining ingredients: Add the cooked pasta, and toss to combine. Then, gently stir in the chopped egg whites, green onions, and bacon.
