Take-out Tuesday, Lazy Day Grape Salad
This salad is an old fashioned favorite that appears at many luncheons, showers, teas, pot lucks and BBQs
It goes together in minutes, keeps for several days in the fridge, and is usually the first dish to be gobbled up on the buffet
The quantities are easily adjusted, you can make enough for 2 or 20!
It’s just grapes mixed with sour cream and cheese cheese and topped with brown sugar and pecans
You can also tweak how much dressing you want, keep it to a minimum, just enough cream cheese and sour cream to bind it together, or make it extra creamy
Top the grapes with a sprinkle of brown sugar and pecans, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours
The sugar will melt into the creamy dressing, transforming these simple ingredients into a “Wow, what’s in this?” type recipe
It’s cool, crunchy, sweet and creamy! Blueberries would be a great addition too~

You would think I’d know this salad, but it’s new to me. It seems something kids would like.
Thank you for the nice recipe.
This must be a southern salad as I don’t recall seeing it on any Yankee table! It sounds delicious. Grapes are one of my favorite fruits. I am going to make this for my next luncheon. Thanks for sharing, Jenna.
Yes, I’m pretty sure it is southern Marigene, who else would add so many calories to grapes!! Ha! It’s delightful though! >
Hi Jenna, Your salad is new to me too! I’m all for lazy day salads especially when the mercury is climbing into the ‘unbearable’ range 🙂
