Deviled Egg Pasta Salad Recipe

I’m a sucker for deviled eggs and for pasta salad, so why not combine them and make an amazing dish?

I could eat deviled eggs any day of the week, any time of day, even breakfast. Eggs are good for breakfast right? I have been known to eat my leftover deviled eggs the next morning. They are full of protein:)

I’ve even been know to eat leftover spaghetti for breakfast so why not have the best of both worlds? It’s a great way to use up those leftovers deviled eggs too!

This deviled egg salad has a creamy dressing and is the perfect side dish. With a ton of egg flavor, and all your favorite filling flavors, it’s a new way to enjoy deviled eggs and pasta salad.

Ingredients Needed

Eggs – You will need 6 hard boiled eggs. I like to make them myself but if I’m in a rush I grab a few from the store.

Pasta – Use a small shaped pasta that is bite-sized. I like small shells, elbow macaroni, or Ditalini tubes.

Mayo – Duke’s Mayo is my favorite as it’s the creamiest. Feel free to substitute your favorite.

Mustard – I always use Dijon mustard in my deviled eggs but you can use yellow mustard or whole grain mustard.

Pickle juice – I like to use dill pickle juice. You can also substitute white vinegar.

Onion – Using red onion adds a pop of color. Substitute yellow or sweet onion if you prefer.

Bacon – Using thick cut or center cut bacon has less fat so I like to use it.

Green onion – Sliced for garnish.

Pantry staples – Garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper.

Variations

• Toss in some diced bell peppers or celery for some crunch.
• Try either dill pickle or bread and butter pickle juice. You can also use sweet pickle relish in a pinch.
• Substitute part of the mayo for sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
• Switch up the mayo for a flavored one like chipotle, horseradish, or even wasabi mayo for some spice.
• Try either sweet paprika or smoked paprika for more flavor. Or some cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce for a kick.
• Sprinkle in some taco seasoning, Cajun seasoning, or even some Old Bay seasoning for a slightly different flavor profile.
• If you want to make it a full meal, fold in some diced ham, tuna, or even shredded chicken.

How to Make Deviled Egg Pasta Salad

First: Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and add the pasta. Stir and cook until the pasta is al dente (or firm but done). Drain and run under cold water to cool down.

Second: Peel the hard-boiled eggs if not already done. Take 3 of the eggs and chop into small pieces. Place in a small bowl.

Third: The other three eggs, slice in half and separate the yolks from the egg whites. Dice the egg whites and add to the other chopped egg.

Fourth: In a large bowl, place the 3 egg yolks. Smash with a fork into small pieces like you would do when making deviled egg filling. Stir in the mayo, mustard, pickle juice, salt, and pepper. Combine and taste. Adjust the seasoning if you need to.

Fifth: To the bowl with the dressing, toss in the cooked pasta, red onion, and chopped egg. Toss to coat. Sprinkle it with paprika and garnish with sliced green onions.

How long does it last?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Give it a quick stir before serving.

Can I make it ahead of time?

Yes, you can! You can make this up to 2 days in advance. You can also prep all the ingredients up to 4 days in advance and then toss together when ready to eat.

Tips for No Leftovers

• Cook pasta al dente in a large pot of salted water so it doesn’t get too soft.
• For an extra creamy dish, pulse the yolks in a food processor, smash fully with a fork, or press them through a sieve. This gets the yolk in very small pieces making them easy to mix.
• Add in your favorite deviled egg filling flavors to make it your own.
• Want some extra texture? Fold in some diced celery, water chestnuts, or diced bell pepper.
• Like pickles? Dice up some dill pickles and toss in.
• Sprinkle in your favorite seasoning mix like Cajun or steak seasoning.
