I've made this many times and even people who are not especially fond of grapes love it. It's always a hit. I do, however, toast the pecans. I never liked having to heat up the oven to toast a few nuts and always found the fry pan gave me unreliable results. So now I do it in the microwave by melting a generous teaspoon of butter on a microwave safe dish and spreading 1/4 cup of chopped nuts on it. Microwave for a minute and stir. Microwave one more minute and stir. In my microwave that's all the time I need. Let cool. So easy.
Everyone loved it, even the kids. I did cut the sugar to 1/4 c. because my grapes were pretty sweet.
Awesome tasting and very simple to make!
VERY GOOD
This salad is great. The only problem is it makes a huge batch.
delicious, easy to prepare, great to take to potlucks
I have been making this for years. I freeze 3 Milky Ways and chop in food processor for add in. This is my granddaughter’s most requested recipe from her Nan’s kitchen!
Easy and DELICIOUS.
I tasted this salad at a funeral 3 years ago. I could not get enough of it! I'm so happy to have found the exact recipe here.
Delish!
