Spinach Salad with Strawberry and Kiwi
It is spring and time to prepare something that is light and flavorful. We have been getting kiwis in our veggie box for the last two weeks so I have been searching for different recipes that use kiwi fruit. Kiwi fruit are native to China and were not introduced to the western world until the beginning of the 20th century. In 1910 the first kiwi fruit were harvested in the United States. It wasn't until 1970 that California grew and harvested its first kiwi fruit.
6 cups spinach, rinsed and torn into bite size pieces
6-8 strawberries, quartered or thinly sliced
2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
About 1/2 cup pecan pieces
2 Tbsp raspberry vinegar
2 Tbsp raspberry jam
Mix together the dressing ingredients in a small container.
Place a serving of spinach on a salad plate. Arrange strawberries and kiwis on the spinach. Sprinkle with pecan pieces. Drizzle with the dressing dressing.
