Wash and thoroughly dry the red and green grapes. Make sure there is no excess water on the grapes to avoid diluting the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk or beat with a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the prepared grapes to the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold the grapes into the dressing using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or bowl and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and chopped nuts. Sprinkle the mixture generously over the top of the grape salad to create a sweet, crunchy topping.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
Serve cold and enjoy this refreshing summer treat!
