JALAPENO POPPER MACARONI SALAD
Perfect for any gathering, this macaroni salad has all the great flavor of a jalapeño popper… jalapeños, cheddar cheese, bacon, and creamy dressing!
Author: THE CHUNKY CHEF
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb dried elbow macaroni pasta
- 1 cup canned jalapeños, chopped I prefer the mild version (can substitute with fresh chopped jalapeños as well)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, cubed small (or shredded) (monterey jack or Colby jack are good as well)
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (I like to use the canola oil mayo for a less calorie dressing)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 Tbsp cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice fresh is best
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- generous pinch of black pepper
- fresh parsley, minced for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Bring large pot of water to a boil, add generous pinch of salt and boil pasta per package directions. Drain, and rinse pasta with cold water until cooled.
