Sparkling Fruit Salad

Sparkling Fruit Salad -- A Pinch of Joy

Sparkling Fruit Salad is delightfully refreshing.  Especially in the hot summer, it’s fruity flavors straight from the refrigerator are wonderful.  It is colorful addition to a party menu any time of year – great for a shower, a potluck or any other get together.    And so easy to make!

The sparkling dressing is a light combination of your choice of white wine or grape juice mixed with club soda or a lemon lime diet soda.  We had grape juice from Short Stuff’s last visit in the refrigerator.  And a mini can of Sprite Zero (no carbs).  So that became the dressing.    I used canned pineapple because I had it on hand and the pineapples at the market looked a little too firm to be used immediately.  I have a thing about grapes – they MUST be sweet or my face just folds up in a “wow, that was tart” grimace.  No control over it!  The big sweet variety of dark grapes won this round.  But if you find the big sweet green grapes, they will add to the festival of color in the bowl.  I also had some gorgeous raspberries in the fridge, but I didn’t think they would stand up to stirring and ladling.  However, if you present individual servings, two or three raspberries as a garnish on top would be perfect.
