How to Make Grape Salad

Stir the grapes into the cream cheese mixture and sprinkle with brown sugar and nuts. Folks, great side dishes don’t get much easier than this!
Helpful Recipe Tips
- Use any seedless grapes, including white, red, and black.
- Use any kind of nuts, including pecan, walnuts, almonds, and cashews.
- Do not use the low-fat versions of cream cheese and sour cream. They add moisture to this dish, and you want it smooth and super creamy.
- For a more health conscience salad, substitute full-fat Greek yogurt for sour cream.
- Adjust the sugar to taste if the grapes are on the sour side.
- For added flavor, toast the nuts before adding to the salad.
- For an extra special dessert treat, top with chopped Snickers or Heath Bars.
- How long does grape salad last? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
