  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.
