Cook the pasta. Use the box as a guide and cook according to package instructions. Rinse well with cold water after straining.
Prepare the eggs. Peel your eggs and cut them in half. Scoop out the yolks and set them aside in a bowl. Chop the whites into pieces.
Prepare the dressing. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Season them with salt and pepper, then add the mustard and mayo. Stir everything until well combined.
Assemble the salad. Add the macaroni to a large mixing bowl. Add the dressing, egg whites, the rest of your mix-ins, and paprika. Mix everything until evenly coated in the dressing.
Garnish and serve. Sprinkle the salad with smoke paprika and chives, then enjoy!
