Main Ingredients
- 8 oz elbow pasta or rotini
- 1 tsp kosher salt for the pasta water
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions
Cooking
- Cook the pasta. Boil in salted water for 8 to 10 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water.
- Hard boil the eggs. Bring eggs to a boil, cover, remove from heat, and let stand 12 minutes. Cool in ice water, peel, and chop.
- Make the dressing. Whisk mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Fold together. Combine the pasta, eggs, onion, celery, and pickles with the dressing until evenly coated.
- Chill and garnish. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, then top with parsley and serve cold.
Notes
Substitutions: Replace half the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt, or use rotini in place of elbow pasta.
Tips: Rinse the pasta until cool and add a splash of pickle juice for extra tang.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Do not freeze.
