Ingredients

Directions

  1. 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
  2. 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,
  3. drain and reserve juice.
  4. Put champagne and the hot pepper in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and remove from heat.
  5. Discard hot pepper and let champagne sit for 10 minutes.
  6. Combine fruit and lettuce in a salad bowl or individual salad bowls.
  7. Add Rice Dream to cooled champagne and mix well.
  8. Pour over salad and serve immediately.
  9. It tastes great, but Rice Dream does have fat.
  10. I have not tried low fat soy milk (can't find it, for one thing), but the vanilla flavor would probably be perfect.
  11. It is also good, though not as good, without a cream substitute at all.
  12. A sweeter wine such as Riesling is better without Rice Dream.
  13. I don't serve this to children or alcoholic friends.
  14. Most of it seems to be gone, however
