Ingredients

CANDIED WALNUTS:
1/2 c chopped walnuts
2 tsp water
1 Tbsp light brown sugar
1 pinch salt
GRAPE SALAD:
1/2 c reduced-fat sour cream
4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese (neufchatel), at room temperature
3 Tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 c seedless grapes, preferably red and green (about 2 pounds)

Steps:

1. To prepare walnuts: Line a small baking pan with parchment paper or foil; coat with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Toss walnuts in a bowl with water. Sprinkle with brown sugar and salt; toss to coat well. Transfer to the prepared pan. Bake until the sugar is melted and the nuts are barely starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool in the pan until the sugar hardens, about 6 minutes.
3. To prepare salad: Combine the sour cream, cream cheese, honey and vanilla in a food processor and puree until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a large bowl. Add grapes and stir gently to combine.
4. Transfer to a serving dish and crumble the candied walnuts on top just before serving.
5. NOTE: You may store the candied walnuts at room temperature for up to 8 hours. You may store the salad in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 8 hours. Top with the walnuts just before serving.

Tips:

Choose the right grapes. Seedless grapes are the best choice for this salad, as they are easy to eat and don't have any seeds to spit out.
Cut the grapes into bite-sized pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will also help the dressing to evenly coat the grapes.
Use a variety of nuts. Walnuts, pecans, and almonds are all good choices for this salad. You can also use a mix of nuts, if you like.
Toast the nuts. Toasting the nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
Chill the salad before serving. Chilling the salad will help the flavors to develop and will also make it more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Creamy grape salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and creamy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
