Here's a winner! Adapted from Eating Well, this easy fruit salad is healthy, low in fat and calories, and will delight all ages (though for toddlers, cut up the grapes.) It's creamy, smooth, and sweet, and a little reminiscent of ambrosia or a Waldorf salad, but those can be packed with calories - and mayo!  Give this a try - nice for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Add toasted almonds on top if you like for crunch.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1/2 of an oblong package (4 oz) reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), at room temperature
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups seedless grapes, especially mixed colors, i.e., red, green, black

Instructions

  1. Wash grapes, and pull them off the stems (kids love this part).  Pat the fruit dry with paper towels or a clean dishtowel.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sour cream, cream cheese, honey and vanilla and whisk together until smooth.  Gently add grapes, and fold to combine.
