Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 8 to 10 minutes
Total Time: 23 to 25 minutes
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 6 hardboiled eggs
- 8 ounces elbow macaroni or other small pasta (I used cavatappi)
- 3/4 - 1 cup mayonnaise (depends on how creamy you want it)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ground cayenne pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 3 green onions, chopped
Here's how to make it:
- Cook the pasta according to packages directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. (Make sure not to overcook the pasta or it will be mushy. You could use any short pasta for this recipe.)
-
Put the egg whites in a large bowl. In another bowl, mash the egg yolks.
-
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, paprika and cayenne to the egg yolks. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Add the green onions and red onion to the egg whites.
-
Stir the mayonnaise mixture and pasta into the egg white mixture. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve or refrigerate until ready to serve. Store the pasta salad in an airtight container in the fridge. For leftovers, you can stir a little more mayonnaise into the salad to increase the creaminess.
