Creamy grape salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. This salad is typically made with fresh grapes, whipped cream, cream cheese, and a few other ingredients. The result is a sweet and tangy salad that is perfect for picnics, family gatherings, or any other event where you want to impress your guests.
I might this salad recipe lighter by substituting Greek Yogurt for Whipped Cream and Cream cheese.
The normal recipe for this creamy grape salad involves cream cheese and sugar which would make for a very high point salad. I’ve tried it that way and it is delicious, since following the WW Freestyle plan for a while now, I’ve found a way to make it more WW friendly using Greek Yogurt and Instant Pudding.
You can definitely use Sugar-Free instant pudding. The 1 oz package of Cheesecake Instant Pudding is 7 points for 1 oz. When divided amongst 8 servings that is only 1 smart point serving. Let it chill in the fridge so that the Greek yogurt becomes cold again. I like the combination of red and green grapes because it just looks colorful.
