We got chickens about a year ago. And then we got more chickens about 5 months ago.
And yes, I am going into Tractor Supply almost daily to make sure they don’t have any breeds I need but that’s besides to the point.
My point is, we have a lot of eggs all the time now. Which is a great problem to have but I mean, it’s a lot of eggs.
I’ve been making a ton of deviled eggs for my kids for after school snacks so I turned their love of deviled eggs into this delicious Deviled Egg Pasta Salad!
(PS Look at that little dark brown egg in my ingredients photo! It’s from our girl Daisy and it just makes me so happy!)
Why You’re Going To Love This Recipe
- It tastes just like deviled eggs! But with pasta mixed in which makes it even better. I found myself stealing bites out of the fridge for 2 days after I made it! It has so many different textures and flavors – it’s my kind of pasta salad!
- It’s really easy! The only thing you have to cook is the pasta. Everything else is just tossed together!
- It is perfect for all your spring and summer parties. It will go well with barbecue foods, hot dogs, burgers, pretty much anything summer-y.
Ingredients
- Pasta – you can use any small shape of pasta, like elbow macaroni, ditalini, rotini, etc.
- Mayo – this is the base of the dressing for the pasta salad.
- Pickle juice – this adds a bit of acid to the dressing. A lot of pasta salads will use vinegar but since we’re going for deviled egg flavors, the pickle juice is really nice in this.
- Dijon mustard – you can use yellow mustard if you prefer.
- Hard boiled eggs – I make my hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot using the 5-5-5 method. Cook them on high-pressure for 5 minutes, let it naturally release for 5 minutes, and then transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes. Then peel and dice!
- Red onion – red onion adds color, flavor, and crunch to this pasta salad.
- Pickles – I put relish in my deviled eggs so chopped pickles have to go in a deviled egg pasta salad! They provide a great crunch and pickle-y flavor. You can use relish if you want smaller chunks of pickle.
- Garlic powder – you can use fresh garlic if you prefer.
- Paprika – a must when it comes to deviled eggs! You are going to mix some into the pasta salad and add some on top.
- Salt and pepper – season to your taste preference.
- Green onions – these are going on top of the pasta salad before serving. They add a great brightness to the pasta salad.

This was a huge hit the first time I made it for a family gathering! My family insisted it be added to our favorite recipe rotation! I tweaked it for our tastes by omitting the raw onion and chopped pickles and added dried green onion. The small amount leftover was even better the next day! Thanks so much for a great recipe :-)
