Notes
- Store salad in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.
- Make sure the grapes are seedless.
- If the grapes are very large (or if you will be serving kids) I would suggest cutting the grapes in half lengthwise.
- Ensure cream cheese is room temperature so it mixes smooth and fluffy.
- Mix the topping with an electric mixer for best results.
- Toast the pecans in a dry non-stick pan until golden and fragrant. This intensifies their flavor and makes them extra crunchy!
- This recipe can be doubled.
