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.

The contrast of so many different flavors and textures in this recipe sound amazing to my taste buds (which are doing a happy dance just thinking about it) but I'm wondering, do you think plain Greek yogurt can be used to substitute the sour cream and honey for the sugar without affecting the outcome of this yummy salad?

This Vintage Grape Salad recipe is one that my family had never heard of, until now. Such a great combination of flavors and textures, all wrapped up in a refreshing Summer salad. This recipe is sure to become a classic that will be passed down for generations to come in my family.

Why doesn't anyone make this dish anymore?! It's so good! I especially love the crunchiness of the pecans against the creaminess of the sour cream.
