Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups seedless grapes (red and green) Choose ripe, fresh grapes for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup whipped cream (or Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional) Can be skipped if not a fan of nuts.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Consider replacing with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the seedless grapes under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. If using chopped pecans, chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until creamy.
  4. Gently fold in the grapes, mini marshmallows, and chopped pecans (if using) into the creamy mixture, being careful not to squish the grapes.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to blend the flavors.
  6. Once chilled, whisk gently before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, prepare the salad a few hours ahead or even overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but avoid freezing to maintain texture.
