I'm not a big fan of fruit in savory dishes, but this salad is surprisingly good. The flavors all work well together and the dressing is delicious.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some herbs or spices to give it more flavor.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover rice and tuna, but it's also a great dish to make ahead of time for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.

I'm not a fan of tuna salad, but this recipe is actually pretty good. The tropical fruits add a nice touch of sweetness and the dressing is light and flavorful.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less fruit or adding some savory ingredients, such as cucumbers or red onion, to balance out the flavors.
