Grape Salad is a creamy, refreshing dish made with sweet grapes mixed in a tangy, smooth dressing of cream cheese and sour cream, often topped with crunchy pecans and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Perfect as a light dessert or side.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds seedless green grapes
- 2 pounds seedless purple grapes

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
Directions
- Wash the grapes and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Put the dry grapes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar and vanilla.
