Why You Will Love our Kiwi Salad

Our Kiwi Salad is the perfect blend between kiwi fruit salad recipes and your traditional salad. I love this kiwi lettuce salad because it is so light and refreshing!

The salad dressing is the perfect mixture of sweet and tangy due to the lemon juice and honey. 

Kiwi salads are wonderful for those hot and humid summer days. It is actually a "real salad," like the kiwi apple salad or that have apples or fancy cucumber kiwi salad dishes you might find at a brunch restaurant. 

This recipe was inspired by our Watermelon Feta Salad recipe that we shared a while ago.

It pairs wonderfully with this recipe for Parmesan Chicken Wings for a light lunch if you are wanting to make it as a side dish.

What makes this Kiwi Salad so unique

With this refreshing take on the traditional summer salad, you will get a lot of good textures. Between the soft kiwi, the crunch of the leafy greens and spinach salad and of course the crunchy pecans! 

The kiwi dressing on this salad is very light and has just a hint of lemon. You can always use lime juice to make a kiwi lime dressing if you like!

This Easy Fresh Kiwi Summer Salad is a very light, refreshing salad. It is perfect for serving alongside all of your barbecued chicken, steaks and hot dogs this summer!

It is also a nice alternative to the usual potato salad or macaroni salad. Though of course those are always nice too, it is just great to have some options! This is especially true for those of us who are trying to avoid heavy starches and lots of carbohydrates. Spring salads are a great way to eat healthy and still enjoy a fabulous meal!

I know that most South Florida residents hate the summer, as it usually feels like we are walking on the surface of the sun...but I love it! I don't mind the heat, as long as I have a WORKING air conditioner in both my home and car...

And lots of ice cold water with fresh mint to drink! I like to stay out of the kitchen as much as possible during the hotter months, and food like fresh kiwis are a great way to help us all stay refreshed. 

I am that weirdo that actually doesn't mind sweating - I just make sure to wear plenty of deodorant. Ha ha!
