- Elbow macaroni
- Hard-boiled eggs

- Dijon mustard
- Pickles or relish
- Celery
- Red onion
- Salt

- Fresh herbs (Chives or dill)
Instructions
- Cook the macaroni: Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Prepare the eggs: While the pasta is cooking, hard-boil your eggs. Place them in a saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil, then remove from heat and cover for 12 minutes. Once done, cool the eggs under cold running water, peel, and chop them.
- Mix the dressing: In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped pickles or relish, salt, and pepper. Feel free to adjust the measurements to suit your taste preferences.
- Add the vegetables: Stir in the diced celery, red onion, and any optional ingredients like bell peppers or fresh herbs into the dressing.
- Combine ingredients: Add the cooled macaroni and chopped eggs to the bowl with the dressing mixture. Gently fold everything together until the pasta and eggs are well coated.
- Taste and adjust: Give your salad a taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You might want to add a touch more mustard or a sprinkle of paprika for that extra flair.
- Chill: Cover the salad and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
