Easy Grape Salad Recipe

You can use all red grapes (my favorite!), all green, or a mixture of the two based on your personal preferences.

I used full-fat cream cheese and sour cream because I wanted a nice, thick mixture. Low-fat alternatives have higher water content. So, if you use low-fat just be aware that your “dressing” could be thinner or slightly more watery.

For a lighter version, use yogurt in place of the sour cream.

Some recipes use Cool Whip and/or marshmallow creme along with the cream cheese, which also sounds utterly amazing.

You can sprinkle the brown sugar and pecans before chilling, and the brown sugar will sort of dissolve into the mixture (SO GOOD), but be sure to give it a stir before serving if you do this!

You definitely want to chill this for at least an hour before serving, but the longer the better, which makes this a perfect dish to prep the day before serving. I love how fresh and crisp the grapes stayed, even days later.

There are many recipes out there that include chopped up candy bars like Butterfinger or Snickers. Who am I to oppose that?!

Consider toasting your nuts before chopping them and tossing them in this grape salad for a deeper flavor and more crunch!

Double or triple this recipe to feed a crowd!

Want more crunch? Add some toasted, shredded coconut! Pomegranate arils would also be delicious here.
