I got this recipe from a coworker at the salon I work at. I didnt think it would be so wonderful and addictive! Its very creamy and sweet, and a great mix of flavors. It will be the best thing you ever use grapes for (except maybe wine!).
“This grape salad was fabulous! It is fast, uses few ingredients and a great taste. I made it the night before and it held up well. I used sour cream and it gave it a tangy flavor. I will make it again.”
INGREDIENTS and DIRECTIONS:
- 16 oz sour cream
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sugar
- Couple squirts of pure vanilla
- Approx. 4 lbs green seedless grapes
- Approx. 4 lbs red seedless grapes
- Maybe 4 cups pecans
- 1 quart strawberries
Blend cream cheese and sugar together, then, add sour cream and vanilla. Fold in all other ingredients making sure to coat evenly. Save a little fruit and pecans for garnishing. This recipe will feed 15/20 people.
When I do this for me, I use the low fat sour cream and cream cheese. I also use Splenda. You can use any other fruits you want. (If you use apples, be sure to do a lemon juice/water bath on them first.) You can also sprinkle with brown sugar.
