Deviled egg pasta salad is everything you love about a deviled egg turned into a delicious appetizer that everyone will enjoy.
Deviled eggs have always been one of my favorite foods. My grandma always makes them for her Christmas Eve get-together, and we have them throughout the year at family gatherings. Knowing how much I enjoy them, I wanted to make something else with the same great taste.
Normally, I’m not a fan of pasta salad, but this one was amazing! I think I liked it because it’s such a unique flavor and doesn’t have a whole lot of extras. Ok, mainly, it doesn’t have olives. I don’t like olives. Or tomatoes.
This version of pasta salad is also dairy-free since I use vegan mayonnaise. You can use regular mayonnaise, but I prefer the vegan kind.

Deviled Egg Pasta Salad Step by Step
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 4 oz elbow macaroni noodles
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp paprika
Preparation
In a small saucepan, combine the onion, vinegar, and sugar and bring to a simmer, stirring often, for about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the onion from the pan and fill it with water to cook the noodles as directed until al dente, rinsing the noodles when they are done.
Meanwhile, coarsely chop one egg. Separate the whites from the yolks on the remaining 5 eggs. Place the yolks aside and coarsely chop the egg whites.
Make the creamy dressing by mashing the cooked egg yolks in a small bowl and adding the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and paprika.
If the dressing is too thick, add up to 2 tbsp of cold water. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired.
In a large bowl, toss the egg whites with the cooked macaroni noodles and fold in the dressing.
Top with reserved egg and garnish with green onion if desired.
