My friend Jolene told me about this recipe she had at a friends house, and it sounded weird, but weird is right up my alley, so I decided to give it a whirl. Oh...my....I wish I hadn't b/c it's one I'm going to want to make over and over again, and I keep trying to tell myself to fall in love with raw carrots, and tofu, but I keep getting distracted by sugar and cream coated grapes, and it's just a deep, dark, downward spiral I enjoy waaaaay too much.
Here's the recipe for Grape Salad
Ingredients:
2 lbs of green grapes, 1 lbs of red grapes, 6-8 oz cream cheese, 6-8 oz of sour cream, 1/2 c. sugar, 1 t. vanilla, 1/4 c. chopped pecans, 2 T. brown sugar
Instructions:
1. Wash and pat grapes dry (don't cut into halves, I wondered about this, but after some research, I guess this helps the dressing not become to wet).
2. Mix cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla (it calls for 8 oz of the cream cheese, and sour cream, but I think thats a little too much). Stir in grapes.
3. Top with pecans and brown sugar. You can eat right away, but if you store it overnight, the brown sugar becomes a little caramel-ish. That's always a good thing in my book!

I make a grape salad that has marshmallow creme as one of the ingredients. Our family loves it - especially my husband. I'll have to try this one and do a taste test.
