Grape Salad

  • 1 C. chopped pecans
  • 1/3 C. granulated sugar
  • 1 8-oz pkg. cream cheese
  • 1 t. vanilla extract
  • 2 lbs. seedless red grapes

Place pecans in a skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir until pecans are toasted and fragrant, 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a heatproof bowl; stir to prevent nuts from overcooking.

Beat sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. Fold in pecans and grapes. Stir gently until grapes are coated.
