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

- 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.

My sister makes this for all our family get togethers. We love it. She makes it the day beggore so the “toppinp” has time to melt. It almost becomes a carmel sauce on top. Highly recommend!
