Fresh Fruit Salad with Champagne

A Refreshing Twist on the Classic Fruit Salad

Got an hour or slightly less to spare and want to create a refreshing alternative to the usual fruit salad? Here’s the answer. Easy to prepare, this vibrant recipe calls for one Golden Delicious apple cut into quarters, a pear prepared the same way, an orange divided into segments, and half a red grapefruit, peeled and chopped. Add a quarter cup of seedless white grapes, the same amount of red seedless grapes, and a generous spoonful of honey. And of course, no champagne dish would be complete without a splash of champagne.

Simple Preparation for an Elegant Result

Begin by washing all the fruit thoroughly and removing any seeds or cores. Cut everything into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl, then add the honey — and a little sugar if you prefer extra sweetness. Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for about thirty minutes. Just before serving, pour in your champagne of choice, give it a gentle stir, and your fresh, elegant fruit salad is ready to enjoy.
