Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1.5 cups Fresh pineapple (diced)
- 1 cup Red grapes (halved)
- 1 cup Mandarin oranges (drained, if canned)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Champagne (or sparkling cider for non-alcoholic version)
- 0.5 cup Pecans (chopped, optional)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, diced pineapple, halved red grapes, and mandarin oranges. Toss gently to combine and set aside.
In a separate bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the whipped topping, granulated sugar, and champagne (or sparkling cider) to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined and fluffy.
Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the fruit, making sure all the fruit is evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the fruit while mixing.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the salad for added crunch and a nutty flavor.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual glasses for a more elegant presentation.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint leaves for an extra pop of color and aroma, if desired.
Chill the Champagne Salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
