12 large eggs
1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces (about 2 cups) elbow pasta
2 medium carrots, grated (about 1/2 cup)
1 medium celery stalk, diced
1/4 small red onion, finely chopped, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes and drained
2 teaspoons sugar
4 sprigs fresh chives, chopped
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Put the eggs in a large pot and add enough water to cover them by 1-inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Let boil for 1 minute then turn off the heat, cover the eggs and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and immediately submerge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Let sit for 10 minutes. Peel the eggs, cut them in half and separate the whites from the yolks. Transfer the yolks to a medium bowl. Chop 12 egg halves into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside. Place the remaining 12 egg halves, cut side up, on a cutting board or plate.
  • Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the egg yolks. Mash with a fork until well combined then stir vigorously to smooth out any lumps. Reserve 1/4 cup of the mixture and transfer the rest to a large resealable plastic bag. Snip a 1/2-inch piece off 1 corner of the bag and pipe the mixture into the center of the egg whites on the cutting board. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions for al dente. Drain, transfer to a large bowl and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your macaroni salad stand out. Choose ripe vegetables, a good-quality mayonnaise, and a flavorful cheese.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender but still has a bit of a bite to it. Overcooked macaroni will be mushy and ruin the salad.
  • Chill the macaroni before assembling the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery. You can chill the macaroni for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Add the dressing to the macaroni just before serving: This will help to prevent the macaroni from becoming soggy. If you add the dressing too early, the macaroni will absorb it and become mushy.
  • Serve the macaroni salad immediately: This is when it is at its best. Leftover macaroni salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it is best eaten fresh.

Conclusion:

Macaroni salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a macaroni salad that will be the hit of any party.
