Glammed Up Grapes

Even though I'm not a big fan of fruits, although a college roommate did help me to see their value, I have always loved grapes.  From the time I was about four or five and ate the grapes off of my Grandparents' grape vines, to my Grandma Smith having them on hand for us so often, to even now, my love for grapes has not diminished.  This year, my grandma mentioned that she was bringing grape salad for Thanksgiving.  "What's this?" I wondered.  I vaguely remembered the dish, and what I remembered was that I loved it, but it had been a year since I had eaten it. 

Grandma brought the dish, and my memories were proved correct.  It was great!  I would tell you how much of it I ate, but you probably wouldn't believe me.  The great thing is that, it's so easy to make!



Blend together a package of cream cheese, a container of cool whip, a 1/4 cup of sugar and a smidge of vanilla.  Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.  This may take a little bit, but you don't want any chunkies in your salad.

When everything is blended nicely, fold in the washed grapes.

 


 

Make sure that they are well covered.  Eat it then, or stick it in the fridge to chill. Either way, enjoy!

  1. Can't wait to sample your grape salad. We need to make this a tradition.

  2. Grandma, yours was so much better. It really was. I need more practice I guess, but you are right. We need to make this a tradition, just like penguin eyes.
