    I absolutely love salsa no matter what season it is, but this butternut squash black bean salsa is my absolute favorite for the fall!

    Butternut Squash Black Bean Salsa

    I am always trying to find a new salsa recipe for each season. This summer I made my spicy peach recipe, which you can find here, and I knew I needed one for the fall. So I got to thinking, what what be the perfect ingredients for this salsa.

    Butternut Squash Black Bean Salsa

    Butternut Squash. Butternut Squash is the key ingredient in this recipe. I used half of a butternut squash and baked it by slicing it in half and cooking it for 1 hour at 350 degrees F.

    Black Beans. Well, I do believe you can use sub pinto beans or another bean, I have not tried that and I think black beans are the best for this.

    Red Onion. You can also use yellow onion, but I do think the red adds an extra, sharp flavor. Plus the color is pretty!

    Peppers. This recipe calls for a jalapeno pepper and a Serrano pepper due to balance out the sweetness from the butternut squash. You can opt out of using any pepper, or just use one!

    Garlic. There is not sub for this one.

    Corn. This salsa uses fresh corn off the cob. You can also use frozen corn or rinsed canned corn.

    Tomato. Roma tomatoes are the best for salsa, in my opinion, because they stay dense.

    Cilantro. Once again, no sub for this.

    Assembling the Salsa

    This salsa is very easy to assemble. The time consuming task is chopping up all the vegetables. Make sure to cut them in bite size or smaller pieces to ensure that you can get as much flavor and ingredients on each chip as possible.

    Eating the Salsa

    I paired my salsa with Kibo tortilla chips, which are absolutely divine. You could also stuff this into a taco and it would be amazing.
