Chicken Salad Chick Grape Salad Recipe

Chicken Salad Chick’s famous Grape Salad is an irresistibly refreshing side dish, featuring juicy red and white seedless grapes tossed in a sweet cream cheese mixture made with brown sugar, caramelized pecans and delicious creamy cheese dressing.

Before serving, all ingredients are combined, then finished off with brown sugar and pecans for an easy yet creamy grape salad! Perfect as either an accompaniment to any main course dish or even as a sweet snack!

Cream Cheese

Cream cheese is at the core of this delicious spread. Crafted by mixing milk and cream through a curdling process that separates solids from liquids, then combined with sugar and vanilla for our enjoyment, cream cheese makes an irresistibly flavorful spread we all know and adore.

Use full-fat cream cheese for optimal texture and flavor; low-fat versions may not taste as creamy.

Before adding grapes to a bowl, rinse and dry them well. Mix sour cream, sugar and vanilla until well mixed before gradually mixing in cream cheese until it is thoroughly combined.

Gently fold in grapes, cover, and chill until ready to serve. Top this delicious dessert or side dish off with brown sugar and pecans before enjoying at potlucks or any special occasions!

Sour Cream

Sour cream adds tanginess, moisture, and binding power to recipes, making them more flavorful and appetizing. It can be used to top baked potatoes or create dips and salad dressings.

Homemade sour cream can be easily created by leaving regular milk mixed with lemon juice or vinegar out on the countertop for 24 hours, creating the ideal environment for bacteria culture to form and thicken and sour up the milk.

To recreate the popular side dish from Chicken Salad Chick, combine softened cream cheese with sour cream, sugar, and vanilla before gently folding in grapes and topping it off with light brown sugar and chopped pecans before refrigerating before serving. This dish can stay fresh in your refrigerator for several days at least!

Sugar

Simple ingredients often produce the best results, and this classic dish proves it. Made with fresh grapes, velvety cream cheese and the crunch of pecans – this side salad makes an excellent option for picnics and potlucks alike.

Make this homemade Chicken Salad Chick recipe even without an outlet nearby.

Perfect for cookouts, potlucks or serving with baked ham or turkey at Thanksgiving or Easter!

Pecans

Although technically considered a side dish, this creamy grape salad deserves to be on any dessert menu. With succulent red and green seedless grapes coated in an irresistibly sweet cream cheese mixture and garnished with brown sugar and crushed pecans for texture, celery adds crispiness while dried ranch salad dressing mix brings added flavor.

Make this delicious treat early and store in the fridge until serving time! Simply combine sour cream, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl on medium speed for 2 minutes until everything has combined, before folding grapes evenly into it all.

Spread the mixture in an attractive serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap until you are ready to serve it. Just before doing so, sprinkle brown sugar and pecans overtop of it all for added garnishment.
