When I made my Creamy Blackberry Salad a few weeks ago, I thought this luscious recipe would also be just as delicious with strawberries and kiwis. This one turned out just as scrumptious. In fact, it’s the perfect salad as we head into the busy summer season. You can make it for any of the upcoming holidays like Memorial Day, Fourth of July or Labor Day. But it’s so good you may want to try it out for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day family gatherings as well! And don’t forget to take it to potlucks or backyard barbecues!
I’ve tried kiwis and strawberries before in tossed salad and they work extremely well. I thought I’d give the combo a try when I was thinking of ideas for tasty recipes to make for a gal in our church who just underwent hip replacement surgery. Even though I loved this salad, I was grateful to hear that they also enjoyed all the goodies I brought them for that meal. It was the perfect salad to go along with Chicken Stroganoff, a loaf of homemade bread and the BEST Strawberry Cake ever!
If you’re needing a terrific recipe to wow company, or you just have an abundance of strawberries on your hands, this is a delicious way to use them. While Creamy Strawberry Kiwi Salad is gluten free, it’s such a delectable recipe you won’t feel like your missing out on anything other folks are eating. Plus, you’ll probably feel like you’re eating dessert rather than salad! Yes, this salad is irresistible. 🙂
Creamy Strawberry Kiwi Salad is outrageous fun for summer holiday fare.
This salad is sure to tantalize your taste buds. It’s a terrific salad to take to potlucks and backyard barbecues too.
If you’re looking for the perfect salad for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, give Creamy Strawberry Kiwi Salad a try.

Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add kiwis and strawberries.
Stir very gently to combine.
Pour mixture into a serving bowl. Sprinkle top with brown sugar, then finely diced pecans. Arrange strawberries and additional kiwis over top of the salad as desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
