This Summertime Kiwi Salad Recipe is so good! Unlike a normal fruit salad….well, it is a little bit different! It’s actually a “real salad” like the ones that have apples or strawberries. With this yummy salad, you will get a lot of good textures between the soft crunch of the leafy green salad and of course the crunchy pecans. The salad dressing is very light and has just a hint of lemon. It’s a very light, refreshing salad – perfect for serving alongside all of your barbecued chicken, steaks and hot dogs this summer, and a nice alternative to the usual potato salad or macaroni salad…though of course those are always nice too! It’s just great to have some options!

Summertime Kiwi Salad Recipe

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

We used to have a big – and I do mean BIG – above ground pool in our backyard, but the maintenance was just a killer! My ex husband used to clean it every day and replenish the chemicals every weekend or so. It was a lot of work considering it was basically just me floating around in it during the afternoons. We did have pool parties, but as my ex husband traveled 50% of the month, they weren’t often enough to really warrant the upkeep…so when it began to crack and get leaks, we decided to just let it go and remove it.
