A seasonal and delicious twist on classic tomato salsa, this chunky pumpkin salsa makes a tasty appetizer with cheese or a condiment for tortilla chips or simply serves over some roasted chicken. If desired, you can also add some diced avocado and tomatoes to the mix. Instead of roasting, you can also blanch the pumpkins in boiling water for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain well before using.

  1. Como más me gusta la calabaza, especialmente la hokkaido o cacahuete como la llamamos por aquí, es asada en el horno. Las semillas de mostaza no las conozco pero los demás ingredientes de la salsa sí, y me encantan. Me comería todo ese cuenco.

    This would be a great lunch for me. I never buy pumpkins as my husband is not a fan of them.
