Ingredients:
8 Plums, pitted and sliced
6 Peaches, pitted, peeled, and
Sliced
1 Banana, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup Grapes, seedless or seeded
1/2 cup 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 cup Rice Dream
Instructions:
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.

The original recipe called for heavy cream, and I have tested it with
Rice Dream. 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.

NOTE: boil the wine longer if you want all of the alcohol out. I
don't serve this to children or alcoholic friends. Most of it seems
to be gone, however.
