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&#8217;ve made it for family, friends, and Bible studies, and EVERYONE loves it, young and old!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grape Salad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 lbs. green grapes<\/li>\n<li>8 oz. container of light cream cheese<\/li>\n<li>8 oz. container of light sour cream<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 c. white sugar<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 c. light brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 c. pecan pieces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3765 aligncenter\" title=\"ingredients\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/69.89.31.171\/~girlfrk8\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/step-1.jpg?w=291\" height=\"300\" width=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/step-1.jpg 1855w, https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/step-1-291x300.jpg 291w, https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/step-1-996x1024.jpg 996w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Directions:<\/p>\n<p>1.
