dallys's grape salad

 best salad ever for a bbq

dallys made this once for a family bbq...

it was so good, so i made it once for a bbq with matt's family...

i am now required to make it every time...

it is so good and super easy...

dallys' grape salad

1 large bunch grapes

(about the size you get a costco)

i prefer red because they are sweeter

but green works great

wash and remove from the vine

dry 

8 oz. cool whip

8 oz. good sour cream

(i prefer daisy because it is creamier and makes the salad prettier:))

combine the cool whip and sour cream

fold with grapes

sugar nuts

(this is mom's recipe and is in our cookbooks)

4 1/2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans

(i prefer pecans for this salad)

2 cups sugar

1 cup water

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

mix ingredients in a heavy skillet

cook until water disappears

and nuts have a sugary appearance.

remove from heat and pour nuts onto a baking sheet.

separate quickly with 2 forks.

this salad takes about one to two cups of nuts

depending on how many you want

just save the rest in a plastic bag for the next time

you make this salad.

because once you make it,

you will want to make it again.

so good...

i hope you will try this salad...

it is really easy and it is always a hit...

thanks dallys...
