Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them into thin pieces and set aside.
Peel the kiwis and slice them into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, sliced strawberries, and kiwis.
Crumble the feta cheese on top of the salad mixture.
If using, toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, tossing occasionally, until fragrant. Let them cool slightly before adding them to the salad.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat evenly.
Serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your Kiwi Strawberry Salad!
