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 the Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the ditalini pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente.
  2. Drain and Rinse Pasta: Drain the cooked pasta in a colander and rinse under cold water to halt the cooking process and cool the pasta.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the cooled pasta to a large mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, chopped hard boiled eggs, diced white onions, dill pickle relish, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly. Add extra mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier texture.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pasta salad until ready to serve. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and enhances the salad’s taste.

Notes

  • For best results, prepare the eggs ahead of time and chill before chopping.
  • You can substitute yellow mustard with Dijon mustard for a slightly different tang.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
  • This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add fresh chopped herbs like dill or parsley for extra freshness if desired.
