Grape Salad with Vanilla Bean Sweet Cream
Sweet grapes, crunchy pecans, and vanilla bean sour cream are combined in this unexpected and delicious Grape Salad with Vanilla Bean Sweet Cream. My boys went nuts over this salad the first time I made it and I couldn’t stop eating bites of it myself.
I’ve made this simple Grape Salad countless times and my youngest son can not get enough of it. Every time he sees grapes in the store or in our refrigerator, he asks if we can make “the really good grape salad” again. How could I ever say no to that?
Several years ago, I tried a sweetened sour cream for the first time when I made a Layered Lemon Cheesecake. I was impressed by the difference a sprinkling of sugar made in the typically tangy (and sour) cream. If you haven’t tried lightly sweetened sour cream before, you’re in for a fun treat!
I have served this salad to several people who were shocked that the creamy dressing was simply sour cream. Years ago, we made versions of this salad with cool whip or pudding and I’m happy to say that this salad trumps those hands down. I would happily eat this salad for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert.
Kitchen Tip: I use this set of mixing bowls to make and store this salad.
