Grape salad

What's everyone have for memorial day picnics? I have been cooking all day to get ready for ours! But this one is grape salad. Super easy and idk how healthy this is if you watch your diet but I did change cream cheese to Greek yogurt.  But here is what you need....

1 1/2 lbs of green seedless grapes ( i only used red )

1 1/2 lb red seedless grapes

8 oz sour cream

8 oz cream cheese

1/2 cup sugar

1tsp vanilla

toppinng brown sugar and pecans ( i didnt use pecans )

remove stems from grapes and rinse them
beat sour cream and chream cheese
add sugar and vanilla and mix well
mix in grapes and put in serving dish
add toppings ( brown sugar 

here is everything I used for mine .. 

throw your grapes in and mix them all around 

I just put some brown sugar on ours. the kids really dont care too much for nuts in things and that is fine cause we dont either but pecans are really good ontop too ! and dresses it up a bit. either way amazing ! easy picnic dish!
