Servings: 24 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 package cream cheese, softened 8 oz.
- 1 cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 lb seedless green grapes
- 2 lb seedless red grapes
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons chopped pecans
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until well combined. Add both kinds of grapes and mix well.
- If desired, transfer the grape mixture to a serving dish. Cover and refrigerate until serving time, at least 2 hours.
- Just before serving, sprinkle brown sugar and pecans over the top.
Notes
- It’s best to make this just the day before serving at the very most, otherwise, the grapes will soften too much and leave a poor texture! This salad does, however, taste best when it’s chilled, so do leave some prep time that. Ideally, you should try keeping it in the fridge for 2-3 hours before you’re ready to serve. Toppings like brown sugar and pecans should be placed just right before serving, though.
- Skinning the grapes isn’t necessary at all, although I recommend it if you’re serving the salad to little ones to cut the grapes into smaller pieces.
