Description

This Easy Grape Salad Recipe is one of those old-fashioned church potluck recipes that never goes out of style. It’s made with fresh, crisp grapes, a sweet and tangy, creamy dressing, and a crunchy brown-sugar pecan topping.  Whether you serve it as a side dish or a dessert, this creamy grape salad recipe is always a crowd pleaser at family gatherings, holiday meals, and summer cookouts.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 pounds of seedless grapes (green and/or purple - I use 2 lbs of each)
  • 1 8 oz package of cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 8 oz container sour cream
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the grapes, then cut them all in half (the cutting step can be skipped, but the grapes seem to absorb the flavor better if they’re cut and it adds an extra texture).
  2. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, and white sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the “dressing” over the grapes and stir until evenly incorporated.
  4. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans, mix again and refrigerate for a couple of hours to chill or until you’re ready to serve.
  5. *For a healthier version, I have heard that this salad is also wonderful using Splenda instead of sugar, fat free cream cheese and low fat sour cream! I haven’t tried it myself but I’d love to hear about it if you have!
