Sour cream- substitute with greek yogurt or a dairy free sour cream for a lighter version.
Vanilla extract
Maple syrup- be sure you are using pure maple syrup and not pancake syrup.
Pecans- chopped nuts are optional but you could use another nut or leave them off altogether.

❓FAQ

Can I freeze grape salad?

No. This salad will not freeze well with the cream cheese dressing.

How many cups in a pound of grapes?

There are approximately 2 ½ cups of grapes in a pound.

Can I use other fruit in this salad?

You could also add chopped apples or strawberries would work well. If adding other fruit you'll need to reduce the amount of grapes used.
