If you’re looking for the perfect summer salad, look no further than this creamy grape salad!

Grape Salad Is The Taste Of Summer

Ahhh…grapes! Who doesn’t love them?

Even though they’re sold year-round just about everywhere, I always associate them with summer.

They’re a great way to keep hydrated in the hot weather because they contain a great deal of water. I usually have a bowl of red and white seedless by my side when I’m on my porch doing summer reading.

Just A Hint Of Cheesecake

While grapes are wonderful as-is, they can be dressed up in ways that make them a stand-alone appetizer, snack or dessert.

One of my favorite ways is to add a creamy dressing that’s basically much like cheesecake. I call this “grape salad,” but you’ll also see it named “snow grapes.”

About a week ago, a friend was absolutely loaded down with grapes and asked me if I wanted some. I jumped at the chance–wouldn’t you? He gave me so many that I knew I couldn’t eat them all.

I often freeze them because eating them frozen on a hot day is so refreshing, but I was thinking that I needed to make something so the remainder wouldn’t go to waste. So I made the famous “grape salad.”

Seedless Only

It’s important here to only use seedless grapes for obvious reasons.

Grape seeds are a bit bitter and have (to me) a rather unpleasant flavor, so they’d ruin this salad.

I mix white and red seedless grapes here, but you if you prefer to use one variety, it’s just as good!
