Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 16 ounce box Ditalini pasta
  • 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. Drain well and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the pasta.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the cooled pasta in a large mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced white onions, dill pickle relish, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
  3. Mix the Salad: Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors. If the salad seems dry, add additional mayonnaise to reach your desired creaminess.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and place the pasta salad in the refrigerator. Chill for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and ensure it is nicely chilled.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly boiled eggs that are chilled in ice water and peeled before chopping.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of mustard and pickle relish to suit your taste preferences.
  • This salad can be prepared a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Add chopped celery or bell peppers for an extra crunch and freshness.
  • Ensure pasta is well rinsed and cooled to prevent the salad from becoming mushy.
