This is a dish that my friend and I came up with one evening. It works beautifully over grilled chicken breast but we served it with mahi-mahi. Enjoy!

Great recipe! I added about half the sugar and it was sweet enough for my peeps. Also, I don’t know if the author really makes this with regular white sugar, but confectioner’s sugar works well in this recipe. Seems like white sugar would be grainy. Toasted pecans took this over the top.
I have made this recipe many times. I add raisins.
Add chopped walnuts or pecans…..
I added a 7oz jar of marshmallow fluff and 1/2 c shaved almonds. AMAZING!!! Huge hit in my house 😀
I made this the other night and added shredded coconut to the mixture. My husband is in love with this recipe. He is diabetic and it did not run his sugar up after a big bowl.
We like Granny’s recipe better.
Loved this! One of those dishes you find yourself eating straight out of the bowl! Very similar to my go to ambrosia recipe. The dressing is the same, minus the vanilla, but the fruit is pineapple chunks and mandarin orange sections, with mini marshmallows, shredded coconut and orange zest folded in. Can’t wait to try this with green and red grapes! Might try adding in some mini marshmallows and/or pineapple and coconut!
This is a huge hit at every BBQ, picnic & get-together! I add pineapple & cherries also. Make sure the fruit is patted dry with a papertowel so the “sauce” can get a good hold.
We have our own vineyard and have more grapes than I know what to do with this time of year. Sometimes they can be a little underripe when I pick them and on the sour side. This recipe had just the right amount of sweet to offset the sour. Perfect the way it is. Next time I’m going to add chopped pecans.
These are great. My whole family loved them but my son he thought that this was not sweet enough.
This was good as written but we had some pineapple on hand & I put that in as well. Very good & very easy. We’ll be making this again.
A “you can cuot on it too be a yummy taste” recipe. Nothing unique…but still tasty 🙂
Yum! The dressing is a little thick, which is fine with me. I know a lot of people would probably prefer it a bit thinner, and if that is the case then I would reduce the amount of cream cheese used. I also added about a cup of walnuts. Great way to get your fruit in!
Oh so delicious! My friend adds caramelized toasted pecan pieces right before serving. Most unexpected and yummy! Do 1/2 red and 1/2 green for an even better look.
I brought this to a family gathering and everyone loved it! I used both red and green grapes.
Very good unique salad. Very easy to modify to your own tastes.
Simply delicious! My family has never eaten so many grapes. This is a recipe that is requested over and over. The only change I make is that I sprinkle brown sugar over the top. Once you make this recipe be prepared to make at every family function 🙂
I always love to add more of the “grape sauce” to this! My aunt makes this all the time but she also puts a bit of un-salted nuts into it which makes it taste very GREAT!
Fabulous! Made these for a BBQ and everyone gobbled them up! I replaced the white sugar with splenda, and completely forgot about adding the vanilla. It was good without and I imagine it’s great with. I whipped the cream cheese, sour cream and splenda together till it was very creamy & smooth, then added the grapes. I also used red grapes instead of green because I couldn’t find any green ones. Can’t wait to make this one again!
very addicting!
Yummy dressing for grapes or just about any kind of fruit. I used 2 kinds of grapes, apples, madarin oranges and marschino cherries and it made a wonderful salad.
