Grape Salad Recipe
We've been enjoying the vintage recipe trend lately, and we're so glad that it's bringing recipes like this one back (or maybe it never left?)! Even though you could argue that grapes don't need to be dressed up, we certainly love the creamy, tangy topping in this recipe. It transforms one of our favorite fruits into a dessert or side dish that everyone will remember.
