Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • ¼ cup sweet pickle relish
  • ¼ cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • paprika, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Cook the macaroni in boiling salted water until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
  2. While the pasta cooks, hard-boil the eggs: cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit 10 to 12 minutes. Cool in ice water, peel, and chop.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Add the cooled macaroni, celery, onion, and chopped eggs. Fold gently until everything is evenly coated, then cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  5. Scoop into a serving bowl, sprinkle with paprika, and serve cold.

Notes

If you’re short on time you can skip the 30-minute chill, but the flavors won’t be as mellow and the dressing won’t cling to the pasta quite as well. Leftovers keep beautifully for several days.
