Time 40m

Yield 60 Grapes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup shelled pecans
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
1/2 cup shelled walnuts
0.75 (6 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temp (Neufchatel)
4 ounces blue cheese
12 ounces seedless grapes, stemmed, rinsed and dried
grape leaves or mint sprig, rinsed and dried

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place nuts, each kind separate, on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring once or twice, 8-10 minutes until lightly toasted. Let cool.
  • In a food processor, pulse one kind of nut at a time, until just finely chopped (don't overprocess). Place in separate bowls.
  • Remove blade; wipe processor bowl clean. Add cheeses; process until blended and smooth. Scrape into a medium bowl.
  • Line rimmed baking sheet with wax paper. Gently fold grapes into cheese mixture. Remove 1 coated grape at a time with a spoon, then push grape gently into one of the bowls of chopped nuts. Shake bowl to turn grape until coated. Place on lined baking sheet.
  • To serve: Arrange grapes on a leaf-lined plate to resemble a bunch of grapes.
