Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 16 ounce box Ditalini pasta

Salad Dressing and Mix-ins

  • 1 ¾ cups mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup yellow mustard
  • 8 hard boiled eggs, chopped
  • ½ cup white onions, diced
  • ⅓ cup dill pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Boil Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the ditalini pasta.
  2. Cook Pasta: Add the ditalini pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process and cool the pasta.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, place the cooked and cooled pasta. Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, chopped hard boiled eggs, diced white onions, dill pickle relish, salt, and black pepper. Stir all ingredients together until evenly combined. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise if needed to achieve your desired creaminess.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the pasta salad and refrigerate it until fully chilled. Serve cold for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh hard boiled eggs to ensure firm texture without greasiness.
  • Rinse the pasta after cooking to prevent it from sticking and to cool it quickly.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste; additional mustard or relish can add more tanginess if desired.
  • This salad can be made a few hours ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator to let flavors meld.
  • For a lighter version, use light mayonnaise or substitute some mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
