Recipe Box, Lazy Day Grape Salad
I have shared this recipe before,
but its so perfect for summer meals and gatherings,
it’s worth sharing again…
Grapes are wonderful on their own of course
by the handful or perhaps a glass of wine
They are a delicious addition to salad
Even baked on a flatbread!
Figgy Bleu Focaccia with Grapes
AND this creamy grape salad is an old fashioned Southern summer favorite
I call it Lazy Day Grape Salad because it’s so easy to put together
It’s cool, sweet, creamy and a little crunchy with chopped pecans
You can serve it just the way it is…
Or on top of crisp greens
Prepare the salad in a plastic container with a lid
and tuck it in a cooler to take on a picnic or to a BBQ
You can make it ahead, it stays delicious for several days
I made a batch and enjoyed nibbling on it for lunch last week

Jenna, this is one of my favorite salads and I had it last week. I like the addition of blueberries, I will try it next time. Happy Sunday!
Oh good, yes a Southern favorite for sure!
I have been surprised by how many things are tasty with the addition of grapes. It’s always a treat to see the art that accompany many of your posts.

Jenna, this salad sounds yummy! I’ll definitely be making this one. Thanks for sharing!
thanks Shannon, enjoy!
What an interesting combo in the dressing. With the brown sugar and the sweetness of the grapes, the sour cream is a nice “cut” to it. This looks tasty and you’re right — every easy. Your recipes rock, Jenna! So do you!
Thanks so much Jeanie, this is a summer favorite!
