Ingredients
- 4 cups red seedless grapes, halved
- 4 cups green seedless grapes, halved
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Wash the grapes thoroughly, remove stems, and slice them in half. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cream cheese dressing over the grapes and gently fold to coat the grapes evenly.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts (if using) over the salad and top with brown sugar for extra sweetness and crunch.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add citrus zest (orange or lemon) to the dressing.
- If you’re making a vegan version, use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut yogurt.
- Feel free to add other fruits like strawberries or apples to the salad for more variety.
- Mini marshmallows are a popular addition for extra sweetness and texture.
