Ingredients

Here are the simple ingredients you’ll need to make this deviled egg macaroni salad.

  • Elbow Macaroni: Provides the base for the salad and this shape is great for holding onto the dressing. Feel free to use shells or rotini instead.
  • Eggs: After making hard boiled eggs, you’ll be separating the cooked yolks from the whites. The yolks bring richness to the dressing, while the whites add texture to this egg salad pasta.
  • Miracle Whip: Forms the creamy base for the dressing, adding tanginess and a bit of sweetness.
  • Sweet Relish: Adds a touch of sweetness and acidity to the dressing.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: Provides tanginess and acidity to balance the other flavors in this pasta and deviled egg salad recipe.
  • Yellow Mustard: Adds the familiar, zesty deviled egg flavor to the salad.
  • Celery: A classic pasta salad ingredient, celery gives this dish a bit of crunch.
  • Onions: Green and red onions add a pop of color and a subtle onion flavor to the deviled egg pasta salad with relish.
  • Paprika: Traditionally used to garnish deviled eggs, paprika adds the perfect finishing touch.

See the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts, nutritional information, and detailed instructions.

Variations

  • Gluten-Free: Use your favorite gluten-free elbow macaroni to make this pasta and deviled egg salad gluten-free.
  • With Bacon: Mix in some cooked, crumbled bacon. You can even sprinkle some on top for more crunch.
  • Add Herbs: Throw in some fresh, chopped herbs like dill, parsley, or chives to add a bright, earthy flavor.

How to Make Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad

To get started making this simple deviled egg and pasta salad, gather up all your ingredients and let's get started.

Macaroni pasta cooking in a pot of water.
  1. Step 1: Cook the Pasta. Cook the elbow macaroni until al dente according to the directions on the package. Drain and rinse with cold water and set aside.
Eggs in water in a pot.
  1. Step 2: Boil the Eggs. Boil the eggs until they are cooked to your liking. I boil them for 12 minutes.
Egg whites chopped in a bowl and the yolks mashed in another bowl.
  1. Step 3: Prepare the Eggs. Peel the hard boiled eggs and cut them in half. Remove the yolks, place them into a bowl, and mash with a fork. Then, chop the egg whites.

  1. Step 4: Make the dressing. Add the Miracle Whip, relish, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper to the mashed egg yolks and mix until everything is well combined.

  1. Step 5: Assemble the salad. Add the cooked pasta to a large bowl, followed by the celery, green onions, red onion, egg whites, and prepared dressing. Gently fold the ingredients together until well incorporated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Sprinkle some paprika onto the salad and serve.

Hint: Make an ice bath.

Transfer the hard boiled eggs to an ice bath to cool, which stops the cooking process and makes them easier to peel.

Serving Suggestions

This pasta salad is a great side for any party, potluck, or cookout, but here are some other tasty ways to enjoy it:

  • Pair it with your favorite sandwiches like these Ham and Cheese Sliders or these Roast Beef Sliders.
  • Use up your Easter eggs and turn this into an Easter pasta salad. Serve it as part of an Easter brunch spread, and don’t forget the Easter Egg Cupcakes for dessert.
  • Make some for a family meal alongside these Skillet Chicken Thighs and some Homemade Dinner Rolls.

Expert Tips

  • Chill for at least an hour: This salad is best enjoyed cold. Allow it to chill in the fridge for at least an hour, which will also give the flavors time to meld.
  • Garnish right before serving: Wait to sprinkle on the paprika until you’re ready to serve the salad.
  • Store in the fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Note that the pasta will start to dry out over time, so you might want to liven it up with a bit more Miracle Whip before serving again.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip?

Yes, feel free to use traditional mayonnaise instead. Just keep in mind that Miracle Whip has a slightly sweeter and tangier flavor compared to mayo. Give the dressing a taste and add a touch of sugar and/or an extra splash of vinegar if needed.

How long should I cook the eggs?

Hard boiled eggs can take anywhere from 9-12 minutes to cook, depending on how you like them. Cooking for 9-10 minutes will result in a more tender yolk, while cooking for 11-12 minutes will yield a firmer yolk. I cook mine for 12 minutes because I find that firm yolks are easier to mash.
