Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup hulled and halved strawberries, 1 cup seedless green grapes halved, and 1 cup pineapple chunks. Gently toss to mix the fruit evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Moscato d’Asti, 1/4 cup champagne, and 2 tbsp honey until the honey dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the sparkling dressing over the fruit and toss gently to coat all pieces. Sprinkle 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves over the salad and stir lightly. Chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Champagne-Infused Moscato Fruit Salad take to make?

Total time is about 15 minutes (15 min prep + 0 min cook). Most home bakers find this fits a weekend afternoon; chill or store as the recipe directs before serving.

How do I store leftover Champagne-Infused Moscato Fruit Salad?

Cool fully before storing. Most baked desserts keep at room temperature in an airtight container for 2–3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Cream- or custard-based desserts must go in the fridge within 2 hours; reheat gently or serve cold per the recipe.

Can I substitute ingredients in Champagne-Infused Moscato Fruit Salad?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Champagne-Infused Moscato Fruit Salad for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 6 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 6). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

What goes well with Champagne-Infused Moscato Fruit Salad?

American desserts like this pair well with a simple grain (rice, couscous, or crusty bread), a quick salad with acid (lemon vinaigrette, pickled onions), and a pan sauce or yogurt-based dip. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.
