🍂 Fall Flavors & Cozy Gatherings: A Seasonal Favorite from My Kitchen

Hi friends,

As autumn settles into Scituate, Massachusetts, the charm of coastal living takes on a cozy new vibe. Crisp air, golden foliage, and weekend gatherings make this season one of my favorites—not just for real estate, but for entertaining at home.

Whether you’re hosting a casual get-together or preparing for an open house, having a reliable, crowd-pleasing appetizer is key. One of my go-to recipes this time of year is Avocado Feta Salsa—a fresh, savory dip that’s perfect with pita chips or tortilla chips and adds a vibrant touch to any fall spread.

🥑 Avocado Feta Salsa Recipe

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ready In: 2 hours 20 minutes (chilling time enhances flavor!)

Ingredients:

2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 ripe avocado – peeled, pitted & chopped
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp snipped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red or white wine vinegar
4 oz crumbled feta cheese

Directions: In a bowl, gently stir together tomatoes, avocado, onion, and garlic. Mix in parsley and oregano. Stir in olive oil and vinegar, then gently fold in the feta. Cover and chill for 2 to 6 hours to let the flavors blend.

🍁 Why It Works for Fall

While salsa might sound like a summer dish, this version—with creamy avocado, tangy feta, and earthy herbs—feels right at home in autumn. It’s a great way to bring color and flavor to your table, and it pairs beautifully with seasonal dishes like roasted squash or grilled chicken.

I often serve it at open houses or neighborhood gatherings. It’s vegetarian-friendly and naturally gluten-free (just choose the right chips), making it a versatile option for guests with different dietary needs.

🏡 From My Kitchen to Yours

As a real estate professional serving the Scituate area, I believe that the heart of every home is the kitchen. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply enjoying the season, creating warm, welcoming spaces—and sharing good food—is what makes a house feel like home.
