High-Protein Deviled Egg Pasta Salad

This High Protein Deviled Egg Pasta Salad takes everything you love about classic deviled eggs and turns it into a shareable, fork-friendly pasta salad. The "dressing" is a blend of cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and just enough mayo to keep things creamy without going overboard. You get all that signature deviled egg flavor (the Dijon, the paprika, the pickle juice) with a fraction of the fat and calories. It's meal-prep gold and cookout-ready.
