Deviled Egg Side Salad (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 6 boiled eggs, peeled
02 - 8 oz macaroni, elbow style

→ Dressing

03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1½ cups mayo
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt, kosher
06 - 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
08 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
09 - 2 tablespoons regular white vinegar

→ Mix-ins & Garnish

10 - Paprika (extra for topping, optional)
11 - Optional: Green onion slices for garnish
12 - 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
13 - 1/2 cup diced onion, red

# Instructions:

01 - Boil a big pot of water with salt added. Toss in the macaroni and cook following the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool it down.
02 - Slice the cooked eggs in half. Scoop out the yolks and mash them in a small bowl. Roughly chop the whites and set them aside for now.
03 - Stir together the mashed yolks, mayo, mustard, vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
04 - In a big mixing bowl, toss together the cooled pasta, diced red onion, celery, and chopped egg whites. Gently mix in the dressing until it's all coated.
05 - Cover and leave it in the fridge for a few hours (2-4 is ideal). Sprinkle on green onions and extra paprika before you dig in, if you like.

# Notes:

01 - You can make this up to a day ahead and keep it fresh.
02 - Keeps in the fridge for about 4 days.
03 - Switch up the pasta and use a similar-sized shape if you want.
04 - Both full-fat and lower-fat mayo work fine.
