Creamy Grape Salad
Description
This salad recipe features equal amounts of seedless green and red grapes coated in a creamy dressing made from softened cream cheese and sour cream sweetened with sugar and flavored with vanilla extract. The grapes are gently tossed to evenly coat without bruising.
After chilling, the salad is finished with a topping of brown sugar and chopped pecans that add texture and a hint of caramelized flavor. The mixture offers a smooth, lightly sweetened dressing balanced by the fresh, juicy grapes and crunchy nuts.
