How to make Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad?

- Add chopped eggs, celery, red onion and pickles.
- In a measuring glass cup mix together mayo, sour cream, mustard, pickle juice, salt, pepper and paprika. Pour the dressing over salad and toss everything together.
- Cover the bowl with a salad with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
How to serve it?
We enjoyed this Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad alongside BBQ ribs and it's was a feast! Our kiddos devoured it and we had no leftovers whatsoever. Score!! It was so delicious, that now I want to make it more often and maybe even add bacon and chopped tomatoes! You can add whatever you like in your deviled eggs, and we all know there are unlimited versions of that appetizer.

Do you smash the egg yolks with a fork? Where do they get added into the recipe? I tried a different recipe to make this pasta the first time, and even though my guest said it was good, I felt like it was blah. Can't wait to try your recipe because i seems to have more flavor than the first recipe i tried. Have you though about adding buffalo sauce?
Anna says
Hi Kim! I do not smash the egg yolks, I simply chop the whole egg and add to the salad, as it says in step 3. You can use hot sauce if you like, especially if you like it in your deviled eggs. Enjoy!
Crystal says
I was pleasantly surprised how good this was. Didn’t have pickles so used sweet relish. Will be making this again!

Add a can of drained tuna fish, I’m sure everyone knows it’s sweet pickles. Have been making this for years. I do use slaw dressing in with a little mayo, sugar, vinegar. Mix really well. It’s great!
Virginia says
Donna, I agree the tuna fish, sweet pickles and slaw dressing makes this sweet and savory at the same time.
