POACHED PEAR SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE AND CHAMPAGNE VINAIGRETTE
This is a nice salad dish for the holiday season or special dinner. Much of this can be made ahead...a real time-saver! They suggest saving the poaching liquid for a spiced-wine spritzer or served warm as mulled wine. I tried the wine spritzer and it was very refreshing. From Bon Appetit December, 2009.

CHAMPAGNE GRAPE AND SHRIMP SALAD SANDWICHES
Shrimp and grapes may sound odd, but this shrimp salad sandwich is a winner. Champagne grapes are a must, there is no substitution for their burst in your mouth sweetness. This recipe came from an elderly gentleman I stood next to at the seafood counter in the grocery store. He insisted that since I was buying shrimp I had to get some champagne grapes and make this! It started out as just a simple trio of shrimp, mayo, and champagne grapes, but over the years I've added the rolls, lemon juice and chives. This works great as an appetizer if you just make the salad, then offer some toasted bruschetta (drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice) along with it! You don't have to measure the amounts, really. I always just grab a bunch of champagne grapes, a pound or two of shrimp, and add everything else to taste. You can make this a little ahead, but I don't recommend keeping it in the fridge for more than a day. And certainly toast the rolls or bruschetta at the last minute, since it's best when the bread is warm.

CHAMPAGNE SALAD
This should be called Wedding Salad instead of Champagne Salad. My sister-in-law's mother made it for Sunday brunch after their wedding, and my Mother made it for a similar brunch after my sister's wedding as well as my daughter's. It's wonderfully easy to make and can be made in individual cups that can be taken out of the freezer as you need them.

Tips:
- Use a good quality Champagne: The better the Champagne, the better the salad will be. Look for a Champagne that is brut or extra brut, as these are the driest styles and will not overpower the other flavors in the salad.
- Chill the Champagne well before using: This will help to keep the salad cold and refreshing.
- Use fresh, seasonal ingredients: This will ensure that your salad is at its best.
- Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette is all that is needed to dress this salad. Too much dressing will overpower the other flavors.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The greens will start to wilt if you let it sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Champagne salad is a light and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it simple or with a variety of toppings, this salad is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a special salad to serve, give Champagne salad a try. You won't be disappointed.
