🥘Ingredients

For the Macaroni

2 cups elbow macaroni
4 cups water
1 tsp salt

For the Deviled Egg Mixture

6 large eggs
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives

For the Salad

1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

👨‍🍳Directions

1Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
2Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 cups of elbow macaroni.
3Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is al dente.
4Drain and rinse under cold water.
5Set aside to cool.
6The macaroni should be firm to the bite, not mushy.
7The water should be completely drained, and the macaroni should be cooled to room temperature.
8While the macaroni is cooking, place 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch.
9Bring the water to a full boil over medium-high heat.
10Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer gently for 10 minutes.
11This will ensure the eggs are fully cooked.
12After 10 minutes, drain the hot water and run cold water over the eggs to cool them down quickly.
13Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
14The eggs should be easy to peel and have a firm yolk.
15In a large bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
16Add the chopped eggs and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives to the bowl.
17Mix until the eggs are fully coated in the mixture.
18The mixture should be creamy and well combined.
19Add the cooled macaroni, 1 cup of diced celery, 1/2 cup of diced red onion, and 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley to the bowl with the deviled egg mixture.
20Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
21The salad should have a creamy texture with visible pieces of macaroni, eggs, and vegetables.
