Ingredients

6 peeled hard boiled eggs
8 ounces macaroni pasta (any small cut pasta can be used)
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1/4 cup cooked chopped bacon (2-3 pieces)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Paprika (for garnish if desired)
1 clove garlic, grated

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, then drain and rinse with cool water. Place the pasta in a large bowl.
Step 2: Separate the egg whites and yolks. Chop the egg whites and add them to the bowl with the pasta. Mash the egg yolks with a fork and add them to the bowl as well.
Step 3: Add the chopped celery, red onion, green onion, and cooked bacon to the bowl.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, grated garlic, salt, and pepper.
Step 5: Spoon the dressing over the salad and toss until all ingredients are evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 6: Garnish with extra green onions and a sprinkle of paprika if desired. Serve immediately or chill before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a lighter version, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
Try adding chopped pickles or dill for extra tanginess.
Use turkey bacon or omit bacon for a vegetarian-friendly salad.
Cook pasta al dente so it holds its texture well in the salad.

Storage

Store the pasta salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, toss again before serving. This salad is best served chilled but can be brought to room temperature if preferred.
