VEGAN GRAPE SALAD
A creamy, sweet, and crunchy salad made with juicy grapes, tangy vegan cream cheese, and crunchy pecans. Every bite is a perfect balance of refreshing fruit and indulgent creaminess. The perfect potluck or BBQ dish to share – no one will guess it’s vegan.
SILKY CREAMY BASE
The base of this Vegan Grape Salad is a smooth blend of vegan versions of tangy cream cheese and sour cream with just the right touch of sweetness. It wraps around each grape, creating a creamy coating that balances the fruit’s natural juiciness.
CRUNCHY CARAMELIZED TOP
The topping gives the salad a fun, crunchy contrast with a sprinkle of brown sugar and pecans. As it chills, the sugar turns delightfully crispy, adding a sweet, caramel-like bite to every spoonful. The pecans add even more crunch, making each bite completely irresistible.
