Grape Salad

I promise from the bottom of my heart that you won't regret making this salad.  I got the recipe from my amazing sister-in-law after a picnic one Saturday.  It was honestly one of those things where I couldn't believe I had lived my life to that point without tasting it!  I'm not even kidding when I say that.  Now wherever I take this salad I get requests for the recipe so I know it's not just me who loves it!

Grape Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs grapes (I do half red and half green)
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 8 oz sour cream
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Cut grapes in half and place in large bowl.  Beat cream cheese until smooth then mix in sour cream, sugar, vanilla and brown sugar.  Fold in pecans.  (You probably noticed that pecans are optional.  While they aren't essential to the tastiness of this salad, I HIGHLY recommend using them - unless you are terribly allergic or can't stand them of course!  They add this perfect little edge though and are my favorite part of the dish!) Pour sauce over grapes and stir until all are coated evenly.  Voila!

Want to change it up?  Cut up apples are also yummy in this sauce.
