If you asked me this is what I would tell you to do:
Run a line up to the cabinet for a receptacle (would an electrician verify the clearances needed for this or maximum height of a receptacle in cabinetry please?). Youre going to have to expand a box or wire in another. Change an existing receptacle into a two-gang box where you put a switch in. Thats the safest way to do it. Do it right the first time. Make it neat the first time.

L.E.S. .,
The code realted to the cabent is muted on heightwise but a gotcha is you can not cut the cord of rope luminarie at all otherwise you will void the UL however I think there is a approved rope lighting assesory that have a switch on it but not sure if still in market or not.
Otherwise with OP's situation what he can do is open up the recpetale behind the fridge and bring it up to the receptale box above the cabent and run second conductor down to other switch box and run in switch loop format.
That is one option or other option is hookup from lighting circuit not the counter top { SABC } circuit and have a receptale above cabent and drop down XX-2 NM to switch box that way The op have switched receptale there.
However let me give you a stern warning with switched receptales do not use the dimmer on switched receptale unless you have specail receptales to match it { I know Lurton do make them I think at least one more dimmer switch manufacter do make it as well }
Merci.
