Grape Salad
Grape Salad combines seedless red and green grapes with toasted walnuts enveloped in a creamy dressing made from cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Toasting the walnuts brings out their nutty aroma, adding a crunchy contrast to the juicy grapes. The salad is chilled for an hour before serving to meld flavors, making it a refreshing side dish or snack.
