Pineapple Salsa Quinoa Wraps

This has got to be the most unseasonable recipe I’ve ever posted.

No roasting, no hearty squash ingredients and (gasp!) no soup or pasta! No, this is definitely not your typical December recipe.

But it is delicious.

And so does the season really matter? Well, when the temps hit 60 degrees on December 1st, I think most food guidelines are harder to follow. Believe it or not, I had a surplus of pineapple sitting around and instead of tossing it into my daily smoothie, I figured I’d make something unique. I never used to like salsa that tried to be sweet or savory. I like my salsa the typical way-full of tomatoes and peppers and that’s about it.

This version doesn’t taste as sweet as it sounds and the pineapple tones down a little when it’s tossed with the rest of the ingredients. It gives it a nice flavor without being sickeningly sweet. Which makes it pair even more perfectly with some plain quinoa. It’s a really refreshing dish, and if its good in the winter, it’s going to be even more amazing in the summer!
