1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
2. Prepare the Eggs: In a separate pot, place the eggs and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes. Drain and cool in ice water.
3. Peel and Chop Eggs: Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
4. Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooled pasta, chopped eggs, diced celery, red onion, and pickles to the dressing. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to break the eggs too much.
6. Chill: Cover the pasta salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the salad and adjust seasonings if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or mustard according to your preferences.
