I think there is one word that best describes this salad... YUM!!
I love this salad! To me it tastes more like a dessert than a salad.
Easy Grape Salad
1 lb. seedless red grapes (See *Note)
1 lb. seedless green grapes (See *Note)
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 (7 oz.) jar or container marshmallow creme
1.) Wash grapes in a colander, remove stems, and pat grapes dry with paper toweling.
2.) Place the grapes in a large bowl.
3.) In a separate bowl stir together, the cream cheese and marshmallow creme, until it's smooth and creamy.
4.) Using a large rubber spatula, (or a spoon) fold the creamy marshmallow mixture into the grapes, until the grapes are well coated.
5.) Cover the salad, and place it in the refrigerator for an hour or two, before serving.
6.) Makes: 8 to 10 servings
7.) *Note: When making this salad, be sure you weigh the grapes after removing them from the stems, and before making the salad, to make sure you have exactly 2 lbs. Actually today when I made this salad, I added a bit more of the grapes (2-1/4 lbs.) total, as there was plenty of the marshmallow mixture to coat the grapes.
8.) August 9th, 2012: Today when I made this salad, I only had 1-1/2 lbs. of grapes, and just 4 ounces of the marshmallow creme, so I just added 4 ounces of cream cheese, which I softened in my 900 watt microwave oven on power level 3 for 2 minutes, plus I added a 1/4 cup of sour cream, a 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 a tablespoon of granulated sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
