Spa Index Kitchen Notes
Don't want or need to make a bunch? Fortunately, our local market features baskets of Baby Kiwi, no bigger than a walnut. We found ours at Trader Joe's.
Worked nicely
I think Kiwi is the most boring fruit in the world, and its color is really the main attraction in salads and as a garnish. I still fish it out and keep it for my family, but I find I liked it better using it this way, than eating it or saving it!
I don’t like eating kiwi so I pick them out of fruit baskets and salad, such a boring fruit, and so i was pleased to find a better use for it!
Thank you this worked great!
