Perfect for special occasions, but simple enough to make every night. Has a lovely citrus basil vinaigrette that goes well with this salad as well as others. Taste's just like the salad they serve at Dewey's Pizza in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Ingredients

8 ounces whipped cream cheese
8 ounces low-fat sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
4 lbs red grapes (washed and picked off stem)
1 tablespoon butter (for topping)
1 cup walnuts (for topping)
1/2 cup brown sugar (for topping)

For best results, use a mixer to mix cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla extract, and sugar. You can mix by hand, too, but it won't be as smooth.

In medium saucepan, melt butter. Add walnuts to lightly brown to taste.
Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar. Sprinkle topping over grapes.
