Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni or small shell pasta
  • 6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or parsley
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (usually 8-10 minutes). Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the cooled pasta to the dressing bowl along with chopped hard-boiled eggs, celery, red onion, fresh dill, and pickle relish. Gently fold everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the dressing and all ingredients are well distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Before serving, give the salad a good stir and sprinkle with additional paprika.

Notes

Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let stand 12 minutes before transferring to ice water. Pasta Perfection: Don't overcook the pasta! Al dente pasta holds up better in salads. Make-Ahead Magic: This salad tastes even better the next day. Prepare it up to 24 hours in advance for maximum flavor development.
