FAQS:
How should I store the grape salad?
- Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days, but eat as soon as possible, as the grapes can start to become mushy and the creamed mixture can start to separate.
Can I make this ahead of time?
- Yes! Coat the grapes in the creamed mixture and cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Then add the brown sugar mixture right before serving.
What are substitutions that I can make?
- Sour cream can be used instead of the vanilla Greek yogurt. If doing this, add ½ teaspoon of vanilla to the mixture. Also, the honey can be omitted if you like your mixture less sweet. Lastly, the mixture can be topped with any kind of nuts you prefer.
