How to make roasted pumpkin with apple

My mom is in town this week for a visit. She usually comes with a stack of recipe clippings that she’s been collecting for weeks leading up to the trip. I’ve been stuck in a bit of a same-ingredient rut lately so I was really looking forward to someone else just telling me what to make. But this time she came empty-handed and said “I’m here to eat what you make—you know all those recipes you post that I never eat because I don’t live close enough to come over for dinner.”

So I sat down and got some ideas together… made a list and we went to the store. When we walked in she immediately came up with the idea for a fall salsa. With apples. So I went to work on it not really having a clue what apples and cilantro would taste like together. But we mixed it up and it was so good! The apple really soaks up the lime juice and took on the onion flavor of the scallions. It's a perfect twist on a salsa for fall. (Or as Jack calls it "fall-sa")

We ate it with a spoon over roasted pumpkin slices and grilled salmon. I love that I never thought I would make this combination but I will definitely make it again.
