This Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad is creamy and loaded with hard-boiled eggs. Quick and delicious and the perfect addition to any meal.
Everyone seems to love this Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad, I always get tons of compliments on it when I make it. It's a super easy recipe to make with just a few simple ingredients, packed with deviled eggs and combined with creamy pasta...yummy!
As a child growing up my mom had been making a version of this for all our barbecues or summer gatherings that we had. I decided to put a little twist on it and make it my own, and it never ever disappoints.
Nothing says summer more than a classic macaroni salad. Although I crave this recipe even in the winter, and believe me I indulge in that craving and have no shame at all. It's always more delicious after a couple of hours and the flavors can mesh together. After making this you'll never buy macaroni salad from the deli again...

Yay Machelle!
Great recipe my husband loved it
Perfect, Did not change a thing
I agree 100% Linda 🙂
I eliminated the olives and sour cream don't care for them. And rather than pimentos I minced sweet mini colored peppers, red, orange and yellow and added green onions green part too. I'm sure that I'd like it the original recipe, but I prefer the changes I made.
It's a great salad! Like you I indulge in pasta salads year round. Life is short let's not make any food seasonal.
I have friends that only eat soups, chili and stew in the autumn and winter...I view that as foolish!!!
I add horseradish and curry powder to my deviled egg macaroni salad ... it really gives a kick and is more like my own recipe for deviled eggs.
You could use small shells or small bowtie pasta 🙂
Hi...planning to make this for Easter this year, but the pasta you recommend isn't available ...what would you recommend instead???..(don't want to use elbow)
Thanks!
Yay Andrea! So happy to hear that.
Absolutely delicious! Definitely a 5/5
Just my husband and me at home so only made 1/4 of the recipe. It was so good, I didn't have dill but did put some green olives in it. Will definitely make again it was so good. Thank you
Yay Suzanne!
Ohhhh my goodness! So good and simple ingredients. This a keeper!
Thank you!
Suzanne
You're welcome Lisa!
This is a really tasty macaroni salad. Thank you for sharing. I have tried others at the grocery store but this is by far way better. Will be making over and over again.
A dill mix of what other herbs? You can use any pasta you like but in my opinion the smaller the better.
So I used ziti because I was of elbow pasta. Is that ok? Also I used a dill mix which should be ok. Does it first taste like mustard. I just placed it in the fridge to chill. Can't wait to try it.
Oh my gosh Pamela! You're very welcome! I'm so so happy he liked it. Sending prayers and good thoughts for a quick recovery 🙂
My husband is recovering from stage 4 cancer of the tongue. The radiation treatments not only left him with a very dry mouth but also altered his sense of taste. He lost 40 lbs. Long story short, it's been very hard to find things he will eat. He absolutely loves this. I follow your recipe, it's perfect. Thanks so much for posting
The nutrition is at the bottom in the recipe card 🙂
Do you have nutrition information for this recipe?
Woohoo Gena! I'm so glad you loved it and thanks for the great review 🙂
This was so good as is! After trying the recipe I did add 1/2 tsp onion powder because some people in our family don’t like green onions. Both versions great and it’s my new favorite macaroni salad!
Awesome Nikki! So glad everyone loved it thanks for the great review 🙂
Thank you for this recipe. I followed the recipe, however I used Spanish olives stuffed with pimientos instead of black olives. The outcome was slightly acidic, so I thinly sliced Cortlandt apples and added them to recipe. Perfect!!! It was approved by all!!!
Woohoo Ila! I'm so happy everyone loved it. Its a fav around here too. thanks for the great review 🙂
Made this salad and it was such a hit! Thanks for a delicious recipe. Everyone loved it, even the kids.
Yay Gina, I'm so glad you loved it. Thanks for coming back here to share that with me and the great review 🙂
This recipe is almost exactly like my grandma’s except she never put eggs in it. Couldn’t wait to try this new twist, and it was a total hit!! I did add a little more yellow mustard to the dressing, about 2TBSP -that’s just how I roll. Great recipe! Will become part of my summer rotation! Thanks for sharing it!
You're so kind Irene! I hope you and your hubby loves this recipe 🙂
I saw tbe receipe it looks and sounds amazing. My husband loves devil eggs heck he loves eggs period....I can't wait to make this salad for him......ignore that idiot with that rude comment sounds like they have a lot of growing up to do.
Making it a couple days prior is fine. You may need to add a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise to freshen it up right before serving. Hope this helps Lindsey 🙂
This looks delicious! How long will this keep, prepared? If I were to make it on a Tuesday evening, to serve on a Friday, is that too long? Trying to figure out how much I can prepare for a camping trip.
I agree! We always have one bad apple trying to spoil the whole bunch. But not today!
Yes Lynn, I think that would be delicious, or it would be fine just leaving the olives out all together. Hope this helps 🙂
Thanks for sharing, this salad looks delicious! Our family doesn't care for olives, do you think chopped red pepper would be OK in its place?
Wow sounds amazing!
Made this didn't have any regular sour cream it was already mixed with liptons French oinion seasoning. Used that in place of the sour cream and onions. Was fantastic!
Yay Christine! I'm so glad everyone loved it! Thank you for taking the time to share that with me 🙂
This is a great macaroni salad! It's simple and so yummy! I served it along side grilled hot dogs while we had out of town guests staying with us. Everyone loved it. I especially love that it's quick to put together. Not a lot of chopping to do.
I am in the process of adding the nutritional value to my recipes 🙂
Do you have the nutritional values? This salad looks delicious.
Why would you choose to be deliberately rude about a recipe? That is just wrong.
Fantastic Traci! I hope you love it as much as we do 🙂
Touche! Just another troll. Making this today and can't wait. It looks fabulous, thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank you so much for your reply. That really helped. . I am sure they will love it!
It just means after the salad is all mixed together. Add the sliced eggs in and gently fold (mix) them into the salad. You just want them to stay in bigger pieces. I hope you and your bf's family loves it Gretchen 🙂
When you say slice the eggs and fold them in gently, I dint understand. I look at the picture and don’t see “slices” of egg. I see the one slice on top. I am making it now for Easter and am super excited just don’t want to mess it up. Taking it to the bf’s family. Lol
Absolutely Kari, its even better the next day 🙂
Do u think this could be made the day before?
Thanks Wendie. I cannot wait to make it.
I use yellow mustard. Hope you enjoy Karen 🙂
I am planning on making this macaroni salad for Easter to go along with my ham. I was wondering what kind of mustard did you use in the recipe. Is it Dijon, brown or yellow.? I cannot wait to try this.
Oh yay Johanna! I'm so glad you loved it 🙂
I just made this salad & it is delish! I can't wait to share it!
Fantastic Marie! I'm so glad everybody loved it and thank you for taking the time to come back here at let me know 🙂
I made this salad over the weekend for a birthday party , everyone including the kids loved it, I didn't change a thing. Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you!!! I read her comment and couldn’t believe an adult would be that childish and rude! This recipe sounds delicious!
Thank you Rachel! I totally agree 🙂
It looks very appetizing and I think that was very rude of Diane. If you can’t say something nice then don’t say anything at all!!!!
Yay!
How was it
It looks so appetizing to me that I’m Making for guests right now after having read the recipe 5 seconds ago. I’m on it 😜
Hmmm it should be creamy but not liquidy. The only thing I can think of was maybe your pasta wasn't drained enough. 🙁
Yours looks delicious but mine turned out too wet. And I even left the sour cream out.
Oh yay Pamela so glad to hear that. Sure you can add green olives or leave them out all together. 🙂
Can't wait to make this. Made a couple of other recipes You posted. Loved them all. But can you put in green olives with pimentos instead of black olives (hate black olives) ??
Well Diane, The good thing about that is nobody is forcing you to make it. What gets me is the fact that you found the need to even post that comment.
This recipe doesn't look appetizing at all. At least to me.
Oh yay Laurie! I hope your friends love it, its our families favorite 🙂
I just made this for a small group later today. If there’s any left by the time I’m through with it, I’m sure my guests will enjoy it. 😉
Oh Yay Robin! You're so welcome!I made some to this weekend its one of our favorites! Thanks for coming back here to share that with me 🙂
Just made this. DELICIOUS!!!! So easy. So super yummy. Didn't have fresh dill or dillweed so I threw in dill relish as well as the sweet. We can't stop eating it lol. Thank you!!!!!!
I made this with leftover egg noodles and it turned out delicious! I had to omit the olives, pimentos and dill because we didn't have them on hand. But it still turned out well.
Hmmm...well thanks for sharing your opinion!
This is ok basically just potato salad . Prefer potatoes instead of pasta
So glad to here that Margo!:)
Yes, it did, thank you! This is one of the best macaroni salads I’ve had. Thank you for sharing!
Dried herbs are must stronger, so I would just do 1 tablespoon, then taste and see if you want more. Hope this helps 🙂
Hi! No fresh dill at the store. Do you the substitution ratio for dried dill?
So glad you loved it Candy! 🙂
A friend brought this to a party and it was very well received (eaten). I decided to make it the next week. I put a few dice green onions in the salad as well as about 1 tsp onion powder and a pinch of sugar. Yum.
Yes it does thank you!
Sure Lyndsie, if you prefer dill relish. But you may want to cut out the fresh dill in that case. Hope this helps 🙂
Can you use dill pickle relish instead?
Real Mayonnaise and Miracle Whip both have totally different flavors. My recipe is based on real mayonnaise, you can add Miracle Whip if you prefer but I have no idea how it would taste. Miracle Whip is much sweeter than Real Mayonnaise. Hope this helps 🙂
I see you specifically say to NOT use MIracle Whip. That is all I ever use. I don't like real mayonnaise. Is there a reason why you say not to use MIracle Whip? Will it ruin the dish? I plan to make this for this Easter dinner. Thank you.
Sweet or dill pickle juice?
I always use Best Foods. 🙂
What brand of mayo did you use?
Oh yay Sparky! I am so glad your family loves it, thank you for coming back here and telling me 🙂
This is now on the list of family favorites! Only change I make is slightly less pasts! Prob because I don't wait for the pasta to cook sufficiently before mixing balance of ingredients! My gang truly devours it! Ty for such a great pasta salad!
Hahaha Karen, I am so so glad your family loved it! Thank you for coming back and telling me. 🙂
I made this for the family today! You would have thought I hung the moon! It was scarfed by all! My compliments to you for a fab dish! Ty!
I think that's why it was titled deviled egg macaroni salad!
Yes Jerilyn just slice them and fold them in the pasta. Feel free to add less eggs if you would like 🙂
I'm confused on the 6 eggs. You just slice them and fold into the pasta mixture? Seems like a lot of eggs!
Thank you Chris! Totally made my day!
I have just achieved "cool Uncle" status. Thank You.
I like to drain the macaroni, place in a bowl, pour in a cup of pickle juice and stir well, then allow to cool. The juice is absorbed by the hot pasta so there is no need to alter the amounts of mayo or other moistening agents. The flavor of the finished salad is much improved. My family likes spicy foods so sometimes I add a little of the vinegar from canned jalapenos to the pickle juice as well.
I haven't made this recipe, yet, but if it's like all the others it'll taste better the next day. Stir before serving and garnish with the green onions the day you serve it.
Thank you Trisha, I just use a regular yellow mustard 🙂
Hi, this looks wonderful. Can't wait to make. Question? What kind of mustard to you use?
Thanks ?
Yes Samantha I use the whole egg. I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Hi, I'm going to make this tomorrow, do you use the yolks in the recipe?
Thank you Amy, I hope your family enjoys it as much as we do. Happy Easter!
This looks great! My nieces and nephews put away deviled eggs like you wouldn't believe, so I'm planning on making it for the Easter family get-together. I'm sure it will be a hit.
Absolutely Jane! I keep it in the fridge 3-4 days.
How long will this keep? Can I make it on a Saturday and serve it Sunday lunch?
I am so glad you loved it Adriana. It is one of my all time favorites.
I made this couple of days ago and it was delish. My young kids loved it too. I am going to make it again tonight. Thanks for a great recipe.
Hi Chalupa, This would easily serve 8-10 🙂
Hey many does this recipe serve?
