Kiwi Summer Salad

We lived in New Zealand for a time and my mother-in-law, who is still there and is a very good cook, made lots of delicious salads for us. Kiwi Summer Salad is one of them. The flavours of beets, mint, peas, orzo and feta combined with a honey lemon vinaigrette is so uniquely refreshing and delicious.

This recipe makes a healthy and delicious addition to your meal planning for the week.
