This jalapeño popper pasta salad channels all the flavours of jalapeño poppers in pasta salad form. Made with roasted fresh jalapeños, cheddar cheese and pasta, all in a cream cheese-flavoured dressing.
I tried a store-bought jalapeño popper pasta salad recently, and I’m not ashamed to say I just couldn’t handle the heat. So I decided to try my hand at a tamer version.
There are all the flavours of jalapeño poppers with cheddar cheese, roasted fresh jalapeño peppers and pasta, all tossed in a cream cheese-flavoured dressing. And while I toned my version down, you can certainly ramp it up to your taste as you like.
