Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups seedless grapes (mixed red and green, washed and dried) Juicy and sweet-tart.
  • 1 cup cream cheese (softened) Ensures a creamy texture.
  • 1 cup sour cream Adds a tangy depth.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Enhances natural flavors.
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract Provides aromatic warmth.
Topping Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar For a caramel-like topping.
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans Provides crunch and nuttiness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the washed and dried grapes, ensuring they are evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
  3. Transfer the grape mixture into a serving dish, spreading it evenly.
Topping
  1. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar with the chopped pecans. Sprinkle this mixture over the grape salad.
Chilling
  1. Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid clumps. Gently mix to preserve grape texture. For healthier alternatives, consider using Greek yogurt or natural sweeteners like honey.
