Southern Grape Salad

Grape Salad

It’s ALL in the name y’all, this grape salad is as “Southern” as it gets! If you’re looking for a perfect summer dessert, look no further! This salad is a dream come true. šŸ™‚

Grape Salad

You might be thinking that just because this is a grape “salad” it might be healthy. Well, let me be the first to break the news. The only thing that’s healthy about this is the grapes & pecans. šŸ˜‰ But it is SO WORTH all the calories!

Grape Salad

The inspiration from this recipe came from one of my favorite lunch spots, Chicken Salad Chick! If you haven’t been and are lucky enough to have one where you live, I would highly suggest it! I love all of their unique twists on classic southern dishes!

Grape Salad

I will for sure be making this time & time again over the next few months this summer! The high temps & humidity are brutal here in Mississippi, so I’m always craving something cold & fresh in the summer! This is the PERFECT dish for a picnic, shower, or holiday weekend such as Memorial Day or the 4th of July! Enjoy!
