Jalapeño Popper Macaroni Salad

Jalapeño Popper Macaroni Salad: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

Any time I have ever had a macaroni salad, they are very similar. There was never anything special about them. But that is not the case with this macaroni salad. It is full of fresh jalapeños for a nice crunch and great spiciness. It also has yummy bacon and cubes of cheese. A delicious and spicy macaroni salad perfect for the warm summer months.
