How to Make Grape Salad

Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the step-by-step instructions and video on how to make this creamy salad. The general steps are as follows:

Mix softened cream cheese, white sugar, sour cream and vanilla with an electric mixer.
Stir in the grapes with a rubber spatula and refrigerate.
When ready to serve, top with brown sugar and pecans.

That's it! Easy right?

I sometimes serve this in a bowl and other times in a 9x13 dish so the topping can be spread among a larger area of the grapes. Either way is just as great! I saw a photo on Pinterest that one of my readers served her grape salad in a trifle bowl!
