Ingredients

  • 12 ounce box Elbow Macaroni
  • 6 hard boiled eggs
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onion sliced
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • fresh chives optional garnish

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions. Rinse in cold water.
  • Peel and chop hard boiled eggs.
  • In a large bowl, combine noodles, celery and green onion. Stir in mayo and mustard.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top with fresh chives.
  • Store in refrigerator until ready to eat.

Notes

This salad tastes even better the next day, so if time permits, let it refrigerate overnight.
This salad will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container.  I don’t recommend freezing leftovers as it will change the salad’s texture.
