Ingredients

Scale

Pasta & Eggs

  • 2 cups elbow pasta
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

Proteins

  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon

Vegetables & Cheese

  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 3/4 cup plant-based cheese, cubed

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook and Prepare the Pasta: Boil the elbow pasta in salted water until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly and rinse under cool water to stop cooking and prevent sticking.
  2. Hard-Boil and Chop the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot with cold water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes, then cool under running water. Peel and roughly chop the eggs.
  3. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Prepare Fresh Veggies and Cheese: Finely chop celery, red bell pepper, and green onions. Cube the plant-based cheese into small chunks.
  5. Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (natural), yellow mustard (natural), apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the natural gelling agent if a thicker dressing is desired.
  6. Combine Everything: In a large bowl, gently toss the pasta, chopped eggs, crumbled bacon, vegetables, cheese, and dressing until everything is evenly coated.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
  • Rinse pasta thoroughly with cool water after cooking to avoid clumping.
  • Customize the dressing by adding smoked paprika or hot sauce for extra flavor.
  • Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving to let flavors meld.
  • Adjust salt and pepper gradually after mixing to achieve perfect seasoning.
