A bright and bubbly fruit salad featuring fresh strawberries, oranges, grapes, pineapple, and blueberries tossed in a light champagne dressing. Perfect for brunch or celebrations, this refreshing salad combines simple ingredients with a festive twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup oranges, peeled and sectioned
  • 1 cup green grapes, halved
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned in juice
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup champagne or sparkling wine
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, toasted sliced almonds or pecans

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fruit under cold water. Hull and halve the strawberries, peel and section the oranges carefully to remove pith, halve the grapes, and cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Place all the prepped fruit into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a smaller bowl, combine 1/2 cup champagne or sparkling wine with 1/4 cup fresh orange juice. Whisk in 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup until dissolved. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, then whisk again until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the fruit bowl and gently toss with a large spoon or your hands to coat all the pieces evenly, being careful not to bruise the fruit.
  4. Optional: Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to let flavors meld and dressing chill.
  5. Serve the salad in a clear glass bowl or individual glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves and toasted nuts if desired.

Notes

Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid mushiness. Chill champagne before making dressing for best flavor. Adjust honey to taste to balance sweetness. Prepare fruit uniformly in roughly 1-inch pieces. Toss gently to avoid bruising. Best served fresh or chilled within 24 hours. For alcohol-free version, substitute champagne with sparkling water or club soda.
