You get a protein boost in this deviled egg pasta salad.

Pasta salad is always such a comforting, cooling dish. Adding a bit of protein (boiled eggs) to it just gives it a great health boost. It transforms into a fully balanced meal with the protein added. 

It’s a fun way to mix up the classic. 

I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with a classic pasta salad, but trying out variations never hurts. In this case, it’s delicious.

Because eggs can add creaminess and fat, the flavor in this pasta salad is divine. It’ll be a summer hit for sure.
