Southwestern Macaroni Salad
Description
This Southwestern Macaroni Salad brings a little extra personality to a familiar picnic favorite. Macaroni is tossed with sweet corn, colorful red and green bell peppers, and fresh Roma tomatoes, creating a satisfying combination of tender pasta and crisp vegetables in every bite.
The creamy dressing gets its Southwestern flair from fire-roasted chipotle salsa, fresh lime juice, and chili powder, adding smoky flavor and a subtle kick of heat. Chill it for an hour or two to let everything mingle, then serve it at cookouts, potlucks, picnics, or alongside your favorite summertime dishes.
