What Ingredients Are in Raspberry Kiwi Salad?

• Baby Spinach: gives a fresh, leafy base to this raspberry salad with kiwi that is nutrient-rich and slightly sweet.

Pro Tip: Choose kiwi fruits that are firm yet give slightly to pressure for the best taste. Remove the kiwi skin for the smoothest texture in the dish.

How to Make Raspberry Kiwi Salad:

Pro Tip: Tossing the ingredients gently helps maintain the integrity of the fresh berries and kiwi slices.

Can I Add Protein to Raspberry Kiwi Salad?

Yes, you can add protein to this raspberry salad!

Adding protein to this salad can make it a more substantial meal.

Grilled chicken, shrimp, or even a sprinkle of feta cheese are excellent options.

Can I Use Raspberry Jam in Salad Dressing?

Yes, you can use raspberry jam in salad dressing.

Making a raspberry jam dressing uses ingredients that are already balanced and mixed.

Jams are blended and more stable than fresh fruit and already have a sweetener mixed in so you don’t need to add extra to your dressing.

In this recipe, I make a delicious raspberry vinaigrette by mixing raspberry jam with olive oil and vinegar for a perfectly tangy sweet dressing.

Is Raspberry Kiwi Salad Healthy?

Yes it is! This raspberry and kiwi salad is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats.

It’s an especially great source of vitamin c.

How to Store Raspberry Kiwi Salad:

If you have leftover kiwi raspberry salad, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

For best results, keep the dressing separate in a small bowl or dish and add it just before serving.

How Long Does Raspberry Kiwi Salad Last?

This raspberry and kiwi salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

The spinach may wilt slightly, and the fruits might lose some firmness over time.

Can You Freeze Raspberry Kiwi Salad?

No, you should not freeze this salad and expect it to become a fresh green salad when it is thawed.

The fresh fruits and spinach will lose their texture and become mushy upon thawing.

However, if you have a lot of dressed extras, you can freeze it.

The blend of spinach and fresh fruit mixed with the dressing ingredients are a good choice to throw into a green smoothie.

Add a little fresh pineapple or different fruits and you have a perfect on the go salad smoothie.

Is Raspberry Kiwi Salad Gluten-Free?

Yes, this kiwi salad with Raspberries is naturally gluten-free.

It is a great option for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

Can I Use Other Fruits in Raspberry Kiwi Salad?

Yes you can use other fruits in this fruit salad!

Feel free to experiment with other fruits like fresh strawberries, blueberries, any of your favorite berries, or mangoes to customize the salad to your taste.

Can I Use Other Greens in Raspberry Kiwi Salad?

Yes you can use other greens in this raspberry Jam salad.

While baby spinach has a great texture and lots of nutritional benefits, you can use any leafy greens you prefer or have on hand. 

Try using a spring mix, a heart of romaine salad mix, a baby kale blend, or your favorite butter lettuce.
