Grape salad recipe 🍇
If you’ve ever been to chicken salad chick and tried the grape salad, you understand it’s addicting. I went the other day and it really sparked up my cravings. So I went on the great World Wide Web to search to find the recipe to feed into my addiction. Luckily this recipe is super easy to make, taste exactly like chicken salad chicks and it only 105 calories for a cup (which is really filling). I found this recipe on lanascooking.com.
Ingredients:
- grapes (the recipe calls for green/ red, but I just used red)
- cream cheese
- sour cream
- vanilla or almond extract
- granulated sugar
- light brown sugar (I actually skip this one because I like the salad without the brown sugar)
- chopped pecans
STEP 1. Remove the grapes from their vines. Wash thoroughly with cold water. Allow the grapes to dry completely before proceeding with the recipe.
STEP 2. Add the cream cheese and sour cream to a medium bowl. Use an electric mixer on medium-low speed (or a wooden spoon or spatula) to mix until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain.
STEP 3. Add the sugar and vanilla to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well incorporated.
STEP 4. Add the dry grapes to the cream cheese mixture. Fold until the grapes are completely coated.
STEP 5. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour and up to three hours.
STEP 6. When ready to serve, garnish with chopped pecans and brown sugar
Hope you enjoy this recipe!
It’s 105 calories for a cup! I did about half of this recipe and it gave me 4-5 cups (4-5 desserts) which was perfect for me!

For those looking for a lighter version, substitute regular cream cheese with a low-fat or dairy-free alternative to make it vegan-friendly. Adding ingredients like diced apples or walnuts can enhance the flavor and texture. Grapes provide essential vitamins and antioxidants, making this salad a healthy choice that fits well into a balanced diet. Enjoy it as a standalone dessert or pair it with grilled chicken for a nutritious lunch option. Remember to experiment with flavors by incorporating different extracts like almond or coconut, which can elevate the taste profile even further. This recipe adheres to healthy lifestyle choices, making it ideal for anyone conscious about calorie intake while still wanting to indulge in something sweet. For an extra crunch, sprinkle some toasted almonds over the top before serving. Try this grape salad at family gatherings, potlucks, or picnics for a refreshing dish that everyone will appreciate.
