Grape Salad, Low-fat and Gluten free

JUNE 9, 2014  /  JANELLE PARIS  / 

I tried this amazing dessert for the first time at a recent family gathering. I took my first bite with a bit of caution because I didnt really know what it wasto my surprise it was one of the most delicious treats I have ever tasted!!!!! In this recipe, I scaled down the calories and used low-fat sour cream and lite cream cheese. If the thought of putting sour cream over grapes makes you question this recipethink of old-fashioned cheesecake. Trust me you are going to love this one.I just made this for guests at our house and we all had seconds around the table!!!!! I am SOOOO excited for you to try this..it is DEVINE! (no pun intended! haha)

*A great recipe to make for a friend who has a gluten allergy!

In a medium bowl add cream cheese, sour cream, white sugar, and vanilla.

Beat with mixer until well combined and smooth.

Remove grapes from stems and rinsearent these beautiful?! MMmmm!!!!!

Combine brown sugar with chopped pecans

Place over top of grapes (you may also place on the side if you desire) Note: While I was at the store I looked at the calories on the 1/2 Splenda 1/2 brown sugar box and regular brown sugar has less calories.

Stir cream cheese mixture with the grapes and place in a serving dish
