Start by washing the grapes thoroughly under cold water. Remove any stems and pat them dry with a clean towel. You can cut the grapes in half if you prefer smaller pieces, but keeping them whole works just as well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend them together until smooth and creamy. This will be the base of your dressing.
Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and sour cream mixture. Continue to mix until everything is well incorporated. The sweet and creamy dressing is the heart of this Creamy Grape Salad Recipe.
Gently fold the grapes into the creamy mixture until they are well-coated. Be careful not to crush the grapes during this process. You want each grape to be enveloped in the delicious dressing.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the grape mixture. Add the brown sugar on top, which will create a delightful crunch. Gently fold everything together to combine.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled, and enjoy the refreshing taste of your Creamy Grape Salad Recipe!
