Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 lb. red grapes
- 2 lb. green grapes

Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese: This ensures a smooth, lump-free creamy sauce.
- Thoroughly wash and dry the grapes: Using a paper towel or clean tea towels, ensure the grapes are dry to prevent excess water from thinning the dressing.
- Chill before serving: Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
