Starfruit Salad, Ensalada de Carambola image

This light and refreshing salad is different, in that it is both sweet and tart with delicious garlic, and tomato undertones. Starfruits are sweet and tart and very juicy. They are native home grown all over south Florida. A homemade vinegrette is prepared and poured over everything. Enjoy
