Everyone raves when I bring this refreshing, creamy salad to potlucks. For a special finishing touch, sprinkle it with brown sugar and pecans. —Marge Elling, Jenison, Michigan

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 pounds seedless red grapes
2 pounds seedless green grapes
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons chopped pecans

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla until blended. Add grapes and toss to coat.
Transfer to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans just before serving.

Test Kitchen Tips

In many recipes, thick and tangy Greek yogurt stands in beautifully for sour cream and lightens things up.

Mix in chopped candy bars. Crunchy Snickers and Heath bars play particularly well with the juicy grapes.

Everybody loves this salad. It's easy and makes for a great "bring something" dish. I really like it sans the brown sugar and nuts. I think it's perfect all by itself, but the garnish does make it look better. I make it at night and let it sit in fridge until the next day. Make sure grapes are dry before combining.

i made this for the first time just because I love grapes. My family agreed and it has become a favorite of my grandchildren as well. Cool, refreshing, different and not too sweet.

This dish received rave reviews at a graduation open house. It was loved by all ages! I used the butterfinger topping and mixed some into the salad as well!

Made this recipe and cut the sugar in half. No one knew the difference and it still tasted great. Very quick and easy to put together. Family loves it.
