Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain and allow it to cool completely to prevent clumping.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well until creamy and smooth.
Gently fold in the cooled macaroni, diced celery, and red onion. Mix until everything is evenly coated in the creamy dressing.
Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste. This step is essential to enhance all the flavors—don’t skip it!
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Before serving, give the salad a good stir and garnish with a light dusting of paprika for that quintessential deviled egg touch. Enjoy the smiles when you serve it!
For an extra pop of flavor, sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley.
