Trader Joe’s Fall Harvest Salsa

Published: Oct 19, 2025 by Tatiana · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

Trader Joe's Fall Harvest Salsa tastes exactly like what you'd hope for from a fall-themed salsa - warm, slightly sweet, and filled with real flavor from pumpkin, butternut squash, apple, and peppers. It's more comforting than spicy, and somehow it works perfectly for this time of year.

Location in store

You can find it in the salsa and condiments aisle, usually next to other jarred salsas. It comes in a small glass jar that's easy to overlook, but I grab a few whenever it's back because it sells out quickly once all the fall shoppers discover it.

Taste and texture

This salsa leans mild, not hot. The mix of tomato, squash, and apple gives it a nice balance of sweet and savory. The texture lands between smooth and chunky, with little bits of vegetables and fruit you can actually see. It's not watery, but it's not thick either - just stir it before dipping.

What I like is that it doesn't try too hard. It tastes like real food - fresh vegetables, a hint of sweetness from apple, and a touch of pumpkin that adds body without taking over. The flavor feels homemade, something you could serve warm over chicken or use as a dip and still call it your own.

My favorite way to eat it

My favorite way to eat this is with Trader Joe's Fall Leaf Corn Tortilla Chips. The salty chips and the sweet tomato-pepper flavor go together perfectly. I also like using it as a topping for scrambled eggs or baked chicken when I want something quick that still feels seasonal.

Pros and cons

What I like:

  • Tastes balanced and fresh
  • Works well with both snacks and cooked dishes
  • Adds fall flavor without feeling like a gimmick

What I'd change:

  • I wish it had a bit more spice
  • One jar doesn't last long

Final thoughts

Trader Joe's Fall Harvest Salsa is one of those products that makes sense the moment you taste it. It's light, flavorful, and brings just the right amount of fall comfort to your table. I'll keep buying it every season - especially because it's the perfect match for those colorful leaf chips.
