Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni or small pasta shells
  • 6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the cooled pasta, chopped hard-boiled eggs, celery, red onion, and parsley to the dressing. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
  4. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld together.
  5. Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and sprinkle with additional paprika for garnish. Serve chilled.

Notes

For best results, make sure pasta is completely cooled before adding dressing. Chilling time is crucial for flavor development. For creamier texture, mash one hard-boiled egg yolk into dressing. Can be made 24 hours ahead and stored in refrigerator.
