You want to try a new way of having eggs and you don’t know how? This recipe is for you!
The best thing you can have when you are hungry, but you want to stay light is a salad. In this recipe, we have a scrumptious combination between pasta, eggs and onion. The softness of the egg and the crunchiness of onions add a special kick to this salad. To add more crispiness, you can add bacon to your recipe. This is optional.
This recipe is far from being dry thanks to its special dressing. The deviled egg filling is very creamy and covers all of your salad. It is quickly prepared. It can be served alone or with crackers, vegetables, or chips. Deviled egg pasta salad is just perfect for a summer day.

INGREDIENTS:

6 hardboiled eggs
8 ounces of your favourite pasta: ditalini, small penne, or elbow macaroni
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 and 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon of white vinegar OR lemon juice
1 finely minced clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, according to your taste
