Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Pasta (macaroni or shells)
- 4 large Eggs
- 120 grams Mayonnaise
- 60 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 medium Celery stalk
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
Finely dice the celery stalk and red onion. Chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooked and cooled pasta, chopped eggs, diced celery, diced red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the top with a pinch of paprika for garnish.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
