In Spanish, salsa simply means “sauce,” but English speakers have adopted the term to reference a spicy, Mex- ican-style condiment used for dipping. Maybe that’s the kind of salsa you’re thinking of when you hear about our Fall Harvest Salsa—you’re probably thinking: tomatoes, onions, jalapeños; diced and mixed, ready for chip dipping.

You’d only be partly right! Take your North American idea of salsa and move it north and east, to New England. Now flip the calendar forward to autumn. Remove those tomatoes and replace them with fire-roasted tomatillos. Add in some honey-roasted, heirloom Dickinson pumpkin chunks, and diced butternut squash. Balance those slightly spicy jalapeños with some chopped sweet apples, and pull it all together with honey, vinegar, and lime. We call this the “salsification of New England… with a Latin twist.”

Our Fall Harvest Salsa melds fantastic fall flavors with the brightness and heat you expect from a typical salsa. It’s the perfect balance of earthy, sweet, tangy, and spicy. Open up a jar and pair it with our Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips for your football-watching friends. Invite the Mediterranean to the party when you spread some Ricotta Cheese on our Fig & Olive Crisps with a spoonful of Fall Harvest Salsa on top—an amazing crostini appetizer at your next seasonal party. You could even empty an entire jar into a saucepan, add Organic Vegetable Broth, and heat it up until you have a stupendous, salsified, autumnal soup!

However you enjoy it, Trader Joe’s Fall Harvest Salsa is an incomparable way to welcome the crisp, cool days of autumn.
