Ingredients

Scale

Pasta Salad Base

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni or small pasta shapes
  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and cool the pasta.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: While the pasta cooks, peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Mix the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, chopped eggs, mayonnaise, and mustard. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Season and Chill: Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.
  5. Serve: Give the salad a gentle stir before serving chilled as a side dish or light meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh hard-boiled eggs to ensure the best taste and texture.
  • Feel free to add chopped celery or green onions for extra crunch and flavor.
  • For a tangier dressing, add a teaspoon of vinegar or pickle juice.
  • Make the salad a few hours ahead to enhance the flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
