Featured Recipe: Refreshing Champagne Salad
The weather is really starting to heat up, so Chef Mario wanted to share a recipe that’s summery and refreshing—champagne salad (no worries for those who don’t drink—there’s actually no champagne in it). It’s cold, fruity, and a little bit tangy—what’s not to love? This is a great side dish/dessert to bring along to your next family cookout or evening on the patio.
Ingredients:
- 1 package lemon Jell-O
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 cup ginger ale
- Grapes (about 20-30)
- 1 orange, peeled and sliced
- Pecans (about 2 handfuls)
Directions:
- Make the Jell-O according to package instructions. Use the cold apple juice and ginger ale in place of the cold water. Pour into your desired serving dish or Jell-O mold.
- Cut the grapes and orange slices into smaller pieces (or leave whole if that’s what you prefer).
- Let the Jell-O partially set before folding in the grapes, orange slices, and pecans.
- Finish letting the Jell-O mixture set before serving.
- Serve with whipped cream.
