Amish Pasta Salad

This Amish Pasta Salad may have a long list of ingredients, but they all go together well and this salad has lots of big flavors! It's a bit on the sweet side, yet there is still some tang from mustard, vinegar and sour cream. I also like the spices, especially adding paprika. I've used paprika as a garnish but rarely think of it as an ingredient. If your family is fond of creamy salads, don't hesitate to give this one a try folks, it will be on the menu for Sunday dinner when that starts back up again:@)
 The only thing I might do differently next time is, I'd like to mash the yolks before mixing with everything else.
I think that would make a pretty salad that's lightly tinted yellow.
They say the full recipe makes about 12 C of salad, it's easily scaled down.
Leftovers? Add chicken, tuna or ham and call it lunch:@)
