Ingredients

  • 1 lb Green grapes -stems removed and rinsed
  • 1 lb Red grapes -stems removed and rinsed
  • 4 oz. Light cream cheese I personally avoid Fat Free cream cheese as it has a rather waxy consistency
  • 1 c. Non-fat Plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp. Brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Honey
  • ½ c. Toasted chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Toss the chopped walnuts in a sauté pan over medium heat. Watch them closely and toss the walnuts so they toast evenly. After a few minutes the walnuts will start to get a toasted brown color. At this point remove them from the stove and toss them onto a paper towel or plate. It is important to remove them from the sauté pan as soon as they are done or they will continue to cook and likely burn.
  • With your beaters, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, yogurt, vanilla, honey and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Gently fold the grapes and 1/3 c. cooled walnuts into the mixture until well coated. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts over the top. Serve chilled.
