Pepper Jack Mac Salad

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I wanted to love this salad. It is easy to prepare and it is very colorful. I thought the taste, however, was a bit bland. used the tomatillo salsa, but I was able to find it in medium heat because we prefer the kick (the store did not have chipotle, which I might have preferred). I think the salad as is, needs a little dressing up. Definitely a significant amount of salt and pepper, more red wine vinegar. Since I have a lot left over, I might experiment with our individual portions, such as adding sriracha or even possibly Dijon, to give it more of the flavor I'm looking for.
