A Grape Salad may sound a little strange, but it is positively addictive! So creamy and sweet and perfect for summer!
I like to serve Easy Grape Salad really well chilled and then each bite into a grape is like a cool, refreshing treat.
Easy Dessert Salad
If you’re tired of bringing the same old pasta salad or potato salad to every potluck you go to, change it up with this Easy Grape Salad. People will quickly become converts. There is nothing not to love about this easy dessert salad that’s so sweet and satisfying.
Ingredients
The grapes (I use both red and green) get coated in a creamy mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. I also like to add some toffee bits for added sweetness and extra crunch. You could chop up a few Heath bars instead for the same effect.
A mixture of brown sugar and chopped pecans gets added on top. It’s as easy as that!
Tips For Making Easy Grape Salad
- Be sure to wash and dry your grapes well. I like to rinse them in a colander and then spread them out on paper towels to dry for a few hours.
- One pound of grapes equals about 2 1/2 cups.
- It’s perfectly alright to cut the grapes in half if you wish.
- Use crushed Butterfingers of chopped Snickers bars for a change in flavor if you wish.
- Leave the nuts out if you like or use walnuts instead.

This was a great way to use up a bunch of grapes before they went bad. I’ll definitely make it again!
Going to make this for Thanksgiving dinner,can’t wait..thanks
I made this for Christmas dinner a day ahead of time. My mixture was really runny when it was time to eat and even days later it’s like eating grape soup!
I just made a batch and used Greek yogurt instead of the sour cream, it’s very creamy. I also used stevia instead of sugar…added some crushed heath bars…very good
My sour cream, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla will not cream. It is lumpy. Please advise!!
The cream cheese isn’t soft enough.
I used red grapes only. I was short on cream cheese I used strawberry cream cheese instead, I used about half of what the receipt called for. I also used strawberry yogurt as a filler. I added mandarin oranges, apples and mini marshmallows. Topped pecans with caramel drizzle. OMG it was gone before I got to try it. So it’s safe to say it was a hit.
Has anyone eaten frozen grapes right out of rhe freezer by themselves? They are sweet ans cold perfect for summertime snacking especially if you have diabetes.
