Wash and dry the red and green grapes thoroughly. Remove all stems and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or hand mixer to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Pour the creamy dressing over the grapes in the large bowl. Gently toss the grapes with the dressing until they are evenly coated.
Roughly chop the pecans (and almonds, if using). Set aside a small handful for garnish, and sprinkle the rest over the grape mixture. Fold the nuts gently into the salad.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the salad for a touch of sweetness and texture.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or keep it in the mixing bowl. Garnish with the reserved nuts.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy chilled!
