What a simple recipe that tastes amazing! I tried whipped cream cheese to make mixing easier and it was so good. Definitely will be saving this recipe and making it again!!

Had never even heard of grape salad until last week at a Memorial Day Party. Love this! Someone commented they'd added apples, which I think will be a perfect addition! Thanks for the Recipe!!

Hi! I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It’s what I had but it turned out amazing! With the yogurt not being quite as thick as the sour cream I used 1.5 cups. Then I felt like it wasn’t sweet enough so I added another quarter cup and this was phenomenal!!! Thank you!!!
