Make the sweet, creamy, and crunchy Grape Salad famous at Chicken Salad Chick using this easy copycat recipe. This side dish features juicy grapes coated in a rich dressing and topped with pecans and brown sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds seedless grapes (mix of red and green)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the grapes. If grapes are large, cut them in half. Place the grapes in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Add the sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until the dressing is completely smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the creamy dressing over the grapes. Gently fold the dressing into the grapes until all the fruit is evenly coated.
  5. Stir in the chopped pecans.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Just before serving, sprinkle the light brown sugar evenly over the top of the salad.

Notes

  • For a lower-calorie version, substitute half of the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
  • You can prepare the grape and dressing mixture one day ahead, but wait to add the brown sugar topping until right before serving.
  • This recipe is excellent for potlucks and gatherings because it travels well when kept chilled.
