- 4 cups seedless red grapes

Instructions

Notes
- Tip 1: If you will be serving young children or the elderly, cut the grapes in half. Whole grapes can be a choking hazard to some.
- Tip 2: Similarly, if the grapes are large, cut them in half or in quarters to make them easier for everyone to eat.
- Tip 3: You should also consider making a separate batch of creamy grape salad without nuts for those who may have trouble chewing them.
- Tip 4: Do not add any of the toppings until you are ready to serve. That way, they will stay crispy and crunchy.
- Tip 5: Make sure you choose firm grapes. You do not want the soft ones because they will get mushy.
- Tip 6: The longer you refrigerate your grape salad, the better it will be. Consider making it the night before you plan to serve it.
