During the hot summer months there is nothing as satisfying as a cold fruity salad.

I’ve been craving this delicious fruit salad all summer. But, with it being a sweet salad I was concerned that it would be difficult to balance the carb to fat ratio. So, I began playing around with recipes. I finally came up with one that I think tastes great and relieves my craving for a satisfying cold grape salad.

I finally came up with this recipe that is a bit more balanced that most grape salads. Keeping the serving size to about a half a cup means I can enjoy this sweet treat from time to time.

This tasty grape salad recipe is so great, it’s perfect to take along to a summer picnic, church potluck or as a companion dish when entertaining. You won’t be disappointed.  

Grape Salad Side Dish Idea

For this recipe you’ll need the following ingredients.

• Non-fat Greek yogurt
• low-fat cream chees
• Stevia blend sweetener, I use Pyure.
• molasses
• chopped nuts, I used walnuts and pistachios.
• whole seedless grapes, I used black grapes. You can use green, or a mixed blend.

It’s quick and easy to make this salad. Start by blending the sweetener with the molasses to make a “brown sugar” blend. Next, cream together the cream cheese, yogurt, and sweetener.

Fold grapes and 1/2 the amount of chopped nuts into mixture. Place into serving bowl and sprinkle the rest of the nuts over the top.

You can serve right away or keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
