Hey Minnesota! How about that grape salad?

Started a new thread with the recipe. Hope you like it.

OK SDPat how about sharing the Orange Tapioca Salad recipe? It sounds good!

Ok,here is the recipe for a grape salad I make, but it sure isn't roasted! This makes a very large salad so I always cut it in half, unless it's for a large crowd! My family really like this in the summer.

Grape Salad

2 lbs red seedless grapes
2 lbs green seedless grape

Wash and dry completely

1 8oz pkg cream cheese at room temp
1 8oz sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix all together in a deep bowl with a mixer.
Pour over the grapes and gently toss to coat

1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar

Sprinkle over salad just before serving.
Don't make it with fat free stuff, it gets watery if you have leftovers!

Oh my yes! We camp with a couple who have children who range from 6 years to 17 years old. If I don't make this salad the kids consider the trip a bust! One year grapes were $4.00 a pound and really didn't look that great so I refused to buy them. There were some pretty long faces but I made Orange Tapioca Salad and that did become the second favorite.

5 cup salad has grapes in it, too.

Keep in mind these are the same people who think you have to fold your pizza to eat it.

Nope, not from the frozen north, southern OK for me!

I make the same one as KLO and I'm not from Minnesota, either. Everybody loves it at pot lucks.

Thanks for the recipe. But I did notice that you are NOT from Minnesota :)

What in the world is in grape salad? Sounds horrible unless it's just a bowl of grapes. Never had it or heard of it.
