Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Red seedless grapes
- 2 cups Green seedless grapes
- 1 cup Sliced almonds
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they turn golden brown and release a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Wash and pat dry the red and green grapes. Cut them in half if desired, or leave them whole for a chunkier texture.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the grapes to the creamy dressing and gently fold until the grapes are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top of the salad. Reserve a small amount of almonds for garnish if you like.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and the reserved toasted almonds if desired.
