Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 16 ounce box ditalini pasta

Salad Dressing & Mix-ins

  • 1 ¾ cups mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup yellow mustard
  • 8 hard boiled eggs, chopped
  • ½ cup white onions, diced
  • ⅓ cup dill pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the ditalini pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Drain and rinse: Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down for the salad.
  3. Combine ingredients: Place the cooled pasta in a large mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced onions, dill pickle relish, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly to evenly coat the pasta with the creamy deviled egg flavor.
  4. Adjust consistency: If the salad seems dry, add a little more mayonnaise until you reach your desired creaminess.
  5. Chill before serving: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pasta salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, you can add a bit of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Make sure to rinse the pasta well to prevent it from sticking and to cool it down quickly.
  • This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
