Let sit for 10 minutes. Peel the eggs, cut them in half and separate the whites from the yolks. Transfer the yolks to a medium bowl. Chop 12 egg halves into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside. Place the remaining 12 egg halves, cut side up, on a cutting board or plate.
  • Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the egg yolks. Mash with a fork until well combined then stir vigorously to smooth out any lumps. Reserve 1/4 cup of the mixture and transfer the rest to a large resealable plastic bag. Snip a 1/2-inch piece off 1 corner of the bag and pipe the mixture into the center of the egg whites on the cutting board. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality macaroni: Choose a brand that is made with durum wheat semolina, as this will give the salad a better texture and flavor.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente: This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked macaroni will become mushy and ruin the salad.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the salad. Some good options include celery, onion, bell pepper, cucumber, and carrots.
  • Don't skimp on the dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Make sure to use a good-quality mayonnaise and vinegar, and season it to taste with salt, pepper, and sugar.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will also make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:
