Step 1

Wash grapes then dry well. I always wash them the day before so they can dry on their own in the fridge. Remove grapes from stems, set aside.

Step 2

Add cream cheese to a large mixing bowl then beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sour cream, sugar and vanilla then continue mixing until thoroughly combined and smooth.

Step 3

Fold in grapes then gently stir until coated. Fold salad into a serving bowl, cover then refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 4

Combine pecans and brown sugar to make the topping. When ready to serve, sprinkle salad with half of the topping. Place remaining topping to the side with a spoon so folks can add more if desired.
