1
With the startling flavor pairings of ingredients like sweet potatoes and apples, this salsa from my friend Scott Avery is an easy-to-prepare appetizer which is delicious served with blue corn chips.

It also makes a hearty pasta sauce (see note).

The flavors taste best if the salsa is made the night before and allowed to sit at least 6 hrs before serving.
4
Divide the sweet potato, placing half in a mixing bowl, and mash till smooth.
5
Dice the remaining half and add in to the bowl.
6
Add in the remaining ingredients and combine well.
7
Allow the salsa to rest a minimum of 6 hrs.

Top with a sprinkling of cheese and pumpkin seeds just before serving.

Note: To serve with pasta, heat the salsa quickly in a saute/fry pan over high heat.
10
Toss with freshly cooked pasta and serve immediately, topped with a sprinkling of cheese and pumpkin seeds.

If you cannot find fresh sage, add in a bit more fresh parsley (to taste), adjusting the amount of jalapeno and cayenne to suit your palate.
