Directions
-
Sliced 1 Banana, peeled and sliced 1/2 c Grapes, seedless or seeded 1/2 c Champagne or dry sparkling Wine (or Riesling) 1/2 Hot pepper, seeded and
-
cut In two pieces 1 Head Boston lettuce, torn Into small pieces 1/2 c Rice Dream From Cooking From an Italian Garden, by Paola Scaravelli (Holt, Rinehart, & Winston: 1984) a vegetarian but very high fat cookbook - ADAPTED Put fruit in a bowl,
-
drain and reserve juice.
-
Put champagne and the hot pepper in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and remove from heat.
-
Discard hot pepper and let champagne sit for 10 minutes.
-
Combine fruit and lettuce in a salad bowl or individual salad bowls.
-
Add Rice Dream to cooled champagne and mix well.
-
Pour over salad and serve immediately.
-
It tastes great, but Rice Dream does have fat.
-
I have not tried low fat soy milk (can't find it, for one thing), but the vanilla flavor would probably be perfect.
-
It is also good, though not as good, without a cream substitute at all.
-
A sweeter wine such as Riesling is better without Rice Dream.
-
I don't serve this to children or alcoholic friends.
-
Most of it seems to be gone, however
