GCH: What’s on Your Plate? – Grape Salad

This is one of the easiest desserts you will ever make, and so delicious! My first experience with grape salad was this past summer when my sister-in-law made it for a family gathering, and I was hooked! She made it with red grapes, and I am definitely a green grape gal, so this recipe calls for green grapes. Whatever your preference, it is good stuff! After playing around with several variations of recipes, this is my go-to recipe. I’ve made it for family, friends, and Bible studies, and EVERYONE loves it, young and old!

Grape Salad

Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs. green grapes
  • 8 oz. container of light cream cheese
  • 8 oz. container of light sour cream
  • 1/2 c. white sugar
  • 3/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 c. light brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. pecan pieces

Directions:

1. Place grapes in a colander and rinse well. Empty into a bowl lined with paper towels to absorb excess water.

2. Empty the containers of light sour cream and light cream cheese into a mixing bowl. Add the white sugar and vanilla. Mix until combined and smooth. (hand mix or use a mixer)

3. Add grapes into the mixing bowl and fold until grapes are all coated.

4. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans.


Tips:

  • Serve well-chilled.
  • Add more grapes if you prefer a lighter coating.
  • Walnuts are also good on this!

Praise God! Let’s eat!
