- 2 bunches of grapes, red or green
Dressing Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
Toppings
- Brown sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat them together until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and free of lumps.
- Incorporate Greek Yogurt: Gently fold the Greek yogurt into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended, ensuring the dressing is creamy and consistent.
- Add the Grapes: Mix the grapes into the creamy dressing, making sure the fruit is evenly coated with the mixture.
- Finish with Toppings: Before serving, generously sprinkle the salad with brown sugar and your favorite granola to add sweetness and crunch. Chocolate granola works especially well but feel free to use any preferred flavor.
Notes
- For best texture, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Use fresh, firm grapes to avoid excess moisture.
- This salad is ideal for potlucks and summer gatherings.
- You can substitute cream cheese with a lighter version for a lower fat option.
- Granola adds crunch, so add it just before serving to keep it crisp.
