Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, and run under cold water until all the pasta is cool. Set aside.
    1 lb penne pasta
  • Add the mayo, sour cream, salt, pepper, paprika, vinegar, mustard, relish, & celery. Whisk together until evenly combined. 
    1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup light sour cream, 1 tbsp yellow mustard, 1 tbsp vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 cup dill pickle relish, 1/3-1/4 cup thinly sliced celery
  • Add the pasta to the bowl, gently tossing to combine until everything's evenly coated.
  • Fold the eggs into the pasta, cover, and refrigerate until chilled- at least two hours. 
    10-12 hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped

Notes

  • Don’t forget to run your cooked pasta under cold water to stop it cooking. If you leave it to sit in the strainer without this step, it will continue cooking from residual heat turning mushy and also stick together in clumps.
  • You could use all mayo, but I prefer the mixture of mayo and sour cream for creaminess. If you’re looking to cut calories, you can use all sour cream or even Greek yogurt as a substitute.
  • While our recipe calls for longer pasta, you could use smaller shapes like shells, bowties, or elbows for more of a macaroni salad feel.
  • You could sub sweet relish for the dill pickle, and regular paprika for the smoked paprika. Use what you have on hand.
