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.
