Ingredients

With just a few everyday ingredients, you can make this creamy, sweet, and crunchy grape salad in no time. Gather these ingredients:

• red seedless grapes
• green seedless grapes
• cream cheese
• plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
• vanilla extract
• granulated sugar
• brown sugar
• pecans

Step by step

1. Remove the stems from the grapes, rinse them well, and pat dry. Transfer them to a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), cream cheese, vanilla, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

1. Pour the mixture over the grapes and gently fold to coat them evenly.
2. Stir half of the brown sugar and chopped pecans into the salad, keeping the rest aside for topping.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve chilled, sprinkled with the remaining pecans and brown sugar.

Variations

Swap out the pecans for chopped walnuts, or mix different grape varieties for extra color and flavor. Toast the nuts beforehand to bring out extra flavor and crunch. I sometimes drizzle a little honey on top for a sweeter touch. This salad is versatile, so feel free to try any combination that suits you.

Storage

Eat the grape salad within one day for the best flavor. Any leftovers can go in a airtight container in the refrigerator for a day or two, keeping the grapes firm and the topping crunchy.
