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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Finely dice the celery stalk and red onion. Chop the fresh parsley.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the top with a pinch of paprika for garnish.

Step 7

Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
