Ingredients
  

  • cups elbow macaroni
  • 8 large hard-boiled eggs
  • cups mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 6 whole baby dill pickles, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp pickle juice
  • tsp kosher salt
  • tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • tsp onion powder
  • ½ cup chopped celery
  • 1 Tbsp thinly sliced chives

Equipment

  • 6-quart saucepot
  • Colander
  • Chef Knives
  • Cutting Board
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to the package directions for al dente pasta. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half and remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a large mixing bowl and set the egg whites aside. Roughly chop the egg whites and set them aside.
  3. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until creamy. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the bowl with the egg yolks, and whisk until smooth.
  4. Add chopped celery, chopped pickles, chopped egg whites, and cooked elbow macaroni to the bowl and stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Garnish with chopped chives. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It can last for up to three days.
  • Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing this salad as the texture of the pasta and eggs can change once thawed.
  • Pairing: This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, fish, or even a fresh green salad.
  • Spices: Feel free to experiment with spices! Adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cayenne can elevate the flavor.
  • Vegetarian Option: For a vegetarian twist, consider adding diced bell peppers or peas for extra color and nutrition.
