1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika for garnish
Optional: chopped celery, green onions, or fresh herbs
Cook the elbow macaroni until al dente. Drain and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, both mustards, and pickle relish.
Stir in the chopped red onion and season with salt and pepper.
Add the cooled macaroni and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the dressing.
Gently fold the ingredients together until well mixed.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Use smoked paprika for extra flavor.
You can substitute Greek yogurt for half the mayo for a lighter version.
Great when made a day ahead to let the flavors develop.
