For the Salad:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup yellow mustard

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

🍽️ Instructions

1️⃣ Cook & Prep the Eggs

Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer to ice water to cool completely.

Peel eggs and chop them roughly. For extra deviled-egg flavor, you can separate the yolks, mash them, and mix them into the dressing before folding in the whites.

2️⃣ Cook the Macaroni

Cook elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and cool completely. Set aside.

3️⃣ Make the Deviled Egg Dressing

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

  • Mayonnaise

  • Yellow mustard

  • Apple cider vinegar

  • Sugar

  • Garlic powder

  • Paprika

  • Salt and pepper

Taste and adjust seasoning — the dressing should be creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet.

4️⃣ Assemble the Salad

Add the cooled macaroni and chopped eggs to the dressing. Gently fold until everything is evenly coated.

Stir in any optional add-ins like celery, onions, or relish for added texture and flavor.
