Servings: 6 cups
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound green seedless grapes
- 1 pound red seedless grapes
- 4 ounces light cream cheese
- 1/2 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Truvia baking blend (or sweetener of choice0
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Wash the grapes and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Put the dry grapes in a bowl or baking dish. (You can slice them in half or leave them whole. It's totally up to you. I've done it both ways with good results.)
- In a bowl, combine the yogurt, cream cheese, Truvia and vanilla. Mix well using an electric mixer. Pour this mixture over the grapes and toss together until all the grapes are coated.
- Chill salad in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with the brown sugar and pecans.

Traditional grape salad recipes, including Trisha Yearwood's, are loaded with sugar and fat, but we made this creamy grape dessert salad recipe healthier by using less reduced-fat cream cheese instead of full-fat cream cheese, substituting plain fat-free Greek yogurt for sour cream, and using Truvia baking blend instead of sugar and less brown sugar. I used a combination of red and green seedless grapes, but you could use all of one kind or the other. If you don't have grapes you can easily substitute other fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries and even apples. The possibilities are endless!
