This kiwi fruit salsa recipe forms part of the #Zespri Challenge I am taking part in.
Today, the challenge for Zespri® 14 Day Daily Scoop of Amazing reads:
Cooking is a great family bonding activity. Try out some of the new recipes from your thumb drive and share the experience with your readers.
We were given a thumb drive together with our 28 kiwi fruit and the recipe on the drive is for Roast Chicken Breast with Kiwi Salsa. Seeing as I only looked at the drive yesterday just before I went shopping, I decided not to make the roast chicken part of the recipe. I gave you a lovely chicken salad to kick off the challenge and so I wanted to try the kiwi fruit salsa with something different. I chose smoked kippers – one of my favourite treats to accompany the salsa. It cut right through the oiliness of the fish. I would recommend you try this with snoek or mackerel or your next roast chicken meal. I did not follow the recipe 100 percent so what you see here is my version.

Ooooh! Kippers and kiwis are definitely on my shopping list today!
I was surprised at how well the combination worked!
Sounds very refreshing Tandy!
Thanks Lisa 🙂
The kiwifruit gives it a definite refreshing edge!

Very refreshing indeed Uru 🙂
I love kiwis but am tragically allergic to them! I’m sure this salsa is great though!
I would be very sad to be allergic to kiwis Joanne 🙂
Kiwi with kippers sounds really weird, Tandy, but the salsa looks delicious. 🙂
It is better than it sounds AD 🙂
Come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever tried smoked kippers let alone kiwifruit salsa! But thanks to you I can make the salsa and I can look out for smoked kippers 😀
Any oily fish would do!
this salsa looks divine
Thanks Usha 🙂
Oh Tandy, what a great idea to use kiwi in the salsa…I love the flavor and the colors…

It is my pleasure Juliana 🙂
