Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 pounds green grapes, washed and dry
  • 2 pounds red grapes, washed and dry
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth using an electric mixer or spoon.
  2. In a large serving bowl, layer green and red grapes alternately (cut in half if large).
  3. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the grapes to form a creamy coating.
  4. Sprinkle chopped pecans and brown sugar evenly across the top.
  5. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangy alternative.
Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or using honey instead.
Use walnuts or almonds if pecans are unavailable.
Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Title clarification: This is a dessert salad, not a chicken salad.
