Cool & Creamy Grape Salad

By cecelia26_

Grape salad is a really easy, super delicious, just-a-little-bit-different dish to bring to your next pot luck or BBQ. The tart, crisp grapes counter the cool, creamy cheese mixture and toasty pecans perfectly.

Ingredients

• 2 to 2 1/2 pounds red grapes, washed and dried off a bit
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

With an electric mixer, blend together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Fold in the sour cream.

In another bowl, stir together the brown sugar and chopped, toasted pecans.

Add this mixture to the cream cheese mixture.

Carefully fold in the grapes.

Let the salad chill 2 to 3 hours before serving, or overnight.

Top with more toasted pecans before serving.
