A refreshing creamy grape salad featuring a mix of red and green grapes, cream cheese, and nuts.
Equipment
- Handheld electric mixer For mixing ingredients.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups small red seedless grapes, washed and dried
- 2 cups small green seedless grapes, washed and dried
- 0.5 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts, divided
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Tip: Make sure the cream cheese is soft enough to mix easily.
- Gently fold in the washed and dried red grapes, green grapes, and 1/4 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts until all the fruit is evenly coated with the creamy mixture. Tip: Use a spatula to avoid smashing the grapes.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
- Before serving, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped pecans with the brown sugar, then sprinkle this mixture over the top of the chilled salad. This adds a nice crunch and sweetness! Tip: To toast the nuts, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant.
- Serve the creamy grape salad cold for a refreshing treat!
Notes
For added crunch, you can toast the pecans or walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant.
