Notes
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps in the dressing.
- Choose chilled, sweet red seedless grapes; quarter them if serving young children for safety.
- Toast walnuts or pecans for enhanced flavor and texture before adding to the topping.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; salad may become watery but remains safe to eat.
- Best consumed the day it is made, though it can be prepared ahead by softening cream cheese early.
