Kuini Salad

Simple salad using common salad ingredients like tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce. Healthy and refreshing. The kuini, a juicy stone fruit from the mango family, adds sweetness to the overall recipe. Its vibrant yellow contrasts beautifully with the red from the tomatoes and the green from the leafy vegetables. Great to have on a hot day.
