| Ohhhhhhh my gosh... wow, considering how much I've been gaining, I am SO glad I don't have butterfingers in the house right now. I think without the topping, it would still taste great w/o being too sweet. I'm glad you shared. I had never heard of this before. |

It reminded me of a carmel apple... very tasty! And you are right, the dressing itself is wonderful. I was thinking of using it for a mixed fruit salad. Yum. |

And you are right, the dressing itself is wonderful. I was thinking of using it for a mixed fruit salad. Yum. It taste like a Carmel Apple...I'm there. One of the highlights of my trip to Michigan was stopping at Blakes Cider Mill and buying a Carmel Apple! They are the best and I did control myself by only buying one. I will, indeed, try this recipe. |
| This lady at work makes this for me all the time with FF cream cheese and sour cream and it's awesome. No toppings though-- none needed. It's delicious on its own! |
| That sounds really good--and it is different. I will give it a try-THANKS! |
| The first time I had this, I was a guest at Grannie Annie's house (after the picnic last year). It was wonderful. Very refreshing. Now, I make it frequently with ff cream cheese and ff sour cream. |
| My Aunt Debbie makes this salad and uses brown sugar/walnut/something else for a topping. I had it once at a bridal shower and fell in love. My love handles are quite fortunate that I lost the recipe (until now that is!)! |
| Do you think this is more of a midwest thing? We never had fruit salads like this growing up. None of the BBQs or picnics had stuff like this. |
| I do love grape salad .. especially with Red Flame and Green seedless both!
(Necessary reminder -- keep those grapes and raisins away from your dogs!!!) |

The lady that introduced me to it is from Los Angeles. Maybe you were just fruit salad deprived.  |

Laurie and Oscar, Grape-Free Me, too, Laurie, until I was in Boston! |
Yup... we love our Concord Grapes, as well. But they don't do well in cold salads unless you like to eat seeds.  |
| Wow...that sounds soooo yummy! It reminds me of a recipe Scott makes for parties, receptions etc: We call them "Rolled Grapes"...take green seedless grapes, rinse and dry them very completely, then coat each one individually in a mixture {50-50} of cream cheese and goat (borson) cheese...then roll them in crushed pistachios...TONS of work, but soooo worth it! |
| I made this over the weekend with non-fat cream cheese and non-fat sour cream. I didn't put the topping on. It was delicious! Tasted like cheesecake filling. And it got me to eat grapes! |
| I love it too. Think I'll make it this coming weekend. |
| Made it for a 4th of July party. I was true to the recipe other than fat free sour cream and cream cheese. Rave reviews all around. |
