A mashup of creamy deviled eggs and classic macaroni salad, this Creamy Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad is your new favorite side dish for cookouts, potlucks, or lazy Sunday meals. It brings together elbow macaroni, chopped boiled eggs, crisp green peas, and a tangy, seasoned dressing that hugs every bite.

You get the soul-soothing comfort of Southern-style deviled eggs mixed with the cold, creamy pasta salad we all know and crave during the warmer months. Plus, it looks absolutely stunning on any table, thanks to a sprinkling of paprika and a few fresh basil leaves for garnish.

Can I Use Any Type of Pasta for Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad?

While elbow macaroni is the traditional choice, feel free to switch things up with shells, rotini, or ditalini pasta. The key is to choose a shape that holds onto the creamy dressing well. Elbow macaroni creates the perfect texture contrast with the chopped eggs and peas, making it a crowd favorite.

Ingredients for the Creamy Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad

Elbow Macaroni: The base of the salad. It provides structure and absorbs the dressing beautifully.

Hard-Boiled Eggs: The star! These bring rich flavor and creamy texture, making the dish reminiscent of deviled eggs.

Mayonnaise: Adds richness and creaminess. It’s essential for that smooth, indulgent dressing.

Yellow Mustard: Offers that classic deviled egg tang and a little zing to brighten the whole bowl.

White Vinegar: Balances out the creaminess with acidity, giving your salad more dimension.

Sweet Pickle Relish: Adds a touch of sweetness and crunch, enhancing that deviled egg flavor.

Green Peas: For pop and sweetness—they also give a lovely contrast to the creaminess.

Celery (optional): For an extra crunch and freshness.

Paprika: A final dusting of paprika brings color and a warm depth.

Salt & Pepper: To season and bring all the flavors together.

How To Make the Creamy Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad

Step 1: Cook the Macaroni

Boil a large pot of salted water and cook elbow macaroni until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Dressing

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, vinegar, sweet pickle relish, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Prep the Eggs and Add-Ins

Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs (saving a few slices for garnish if you like). Stir them into the dressing along with green peas and chopped celery if using.

Step 4: Combine Everything

Add the cooled macaroni to the bowl and mix gently until all the pasta is well coated with the deviled egg dressing.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld. Garnish with sliced eggs, a sprinkle of paprika, and fresh basil or parsley.

Serving and Storing Creamy Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad

This salad is best served cold, making it a refreshing dish for warm days. It’s perfect alongside barbecue meats or as part of a holiday buffet. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Just give it a quick stir before serving again as it may thicken slightly in the fridge.
