Best Grape Salad

Mon, 29 Jul 2002 19:37:23 -0400

I got this recipe from a coworker at the salon I work at. I didn't think it would be so wonderful and addictive!! Its very creamy and sweet, and a great mix of flavors. It will be the best thing you ever use grapes for!! (except maybe wine!) -- posted by Jamie Renee

Carrots and Grapes

Mon, 16 Sep 2002 18:02:06 -0400

This is another recipe that I haven't tried yet, so I can't vouch for it, but I think it looks good. I'm often drawn to recipes that are a little bit out of the ordinary, and I've never had carrots and grapes together before. I'm intrigued. :-) -- posted by Rainberry Blues

Festive Fruit Platter

Fri, 04 Apr 2003 20:01:59 -0500

I always pay way too much in the store for these when you can easily put them together yourself for much less. Play with the fruit choices..the suggested ones are mostly chose for color and design -- posted by Tish

Raspberry Tarragon Summer Salad

Thu, 12 Jun 2003 20:01:48 -0400

I had this salad at a luncheon and could not get enough of it. It seemed to satisfy every taste, sweet, spicy, crunchy, and tangy. It makes a lot, test the amount of dressing you like on it. Don't be afraid of the ingredient list. You can put whatever fruits and lettuces you like in it. -- posted by Amy S

Naples Grape Pie

Tue, 30 Sep 2003 20:56:11 -0400

The small town of Naples, New York, located at the Southern tip of Canandaigua Lake, is famous for its grape pies! This recipe is from Irene Bouchard, who is universally recognized as the mother of Naples' grape pies, if not their actual inventor! Her pies were featured on an episode of the Food Network's "Food Finds" that focused on the specialties of the Finger Lakes. The prep time does not include the 5 hours sitting time. -- posted by Kree

Fresh Grape Salsa

Wed, 28 Jul 2004 19:59:52 -0400

This salsa is wonderful - sweet, sour, and a little spicy. We usually enjoy it with tortilla chips, but it can also be used as an accompaniment to fish or chicken dishes like other fruit-based salsas. It can be made with any color of seedless grapes, but red grapes are especially pretty with the green onions, chilies and cilantro. -- posted by KizmitRuby

Orzo, Grape and Pistachio Salad

Tue, 10 Aug 2004 20:00:07 -0400

Fruit and Lettuce Salad With Orange-Yogurt Dressing

Sat, 19 Feb 2005 19:58:10 -0500

This is my favorite way to dress up salad greens. You can add almost anything to the salad, but oranges and grapes are my favorites. The dressing is not overly sweet or tart-a nice balance. Even my 2 and 4 year olds will eat salad when prepared this way! -- posted by Kaarin

My Little Smoothy With Grapes

Mon, 30 May 2005 13:34:21 -0400

Key West Sangria

Fri, 26 Aug 2005 22:48:01 -0400

The wine shop I work for recently had a Sangria party for our customers. This was one of the recipes we used. It is best to allow this to sit overnight (add ice just before serving) but if you're in a rush it will still be good to drink right away. -- posted by Vino Girl

Fruit Juice Pudding (Saftkram)

Mon, 12 Sep 2005 16:07:28 -0400

This is the traditional dessert at my community's Swedish smorgasbord. It's a sweet thin-set pudding served with milk or cream. I like this made with grape or any dark red berry juice. From my Grandma's "Swedish Food" cookbook. -- posted by Kaarin

Grape & Yoghurt Bake

Tue, 14 Mar 2006 13:05:02 -0500

Delicious as they are raw, there are more ways of eating grapes than just plucked fresh from the vine. This fruit which is one of our oldest fruit crops (vine roots dating back to before the great ice age have been found in China) is high in dietary fibre, Vitamin A, C and potassium and contains antioxidants that cleanse the skin, liver, kidneys and bowels. So why wouldn't you want to also use grapes in cooked desserts? This delicious and quick to make dessert is from an April 2005 issue of 'Fresh Living'. As you'll see from the notes on variations below, this is a highly versatile recipe that really allows you to do your own thing with a basic idea. Hope that you enjoy it! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Cher's Tropical Fruit Salad!

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 21:01:25 -0500

This recipe is one of my favorites. The spices I use give it a unique flavor. **If you opt to use blackberries or raspberries, use them only as a garnish. If you try to toss them with the cream, you'll end up crushing them. -- posted by tornadoes three

Decadent Grape Salad

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 14:33:17 -0500

This beautiful salad is one of my favorite ways to eat grapes. I love them plain, but sometimes when they're on sale, I buy tons of them because they are a wonderful snack. I especially like them frozen. Make sure that you chill it before you serve. -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Orange, Strawberry and Kiwi Salad (Ww)

Tue, 27 May 2008 02:12:15 -0400

A refreshing fruit salad that is especially good at breakfast. If you prep it the evening before, don't add the mint until morning or it just kind of bitter. Yes, I learned that the hard way. ;) 1 WW point per serving. -- posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)

Waldorf Salad

Fri, 30 May 2008 20:25:12 -0400

Inspired by Ruby Tuesday's Waldorf. The recipe is identical except for the grapes, the oranges, and possibly the exact type of apple. I also imagine they use regular mayonnaise, sour cream, and sugar. I don't use measurements for this one, so I guesstimated it. I like lots of dressing on mine. See http://www.recipezaar.com/306406 for recipe of the candied pecans. -- posted by Rowenna

Spinach and Red Grape Salad

Arizonica Grape Preserves

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 02:27:42 -0400

This recipe has been adapted from another homesteader in the UK. It uses native grapes to my area and locally grown in my front yard. I substituted local agave nectar for the sugar at a ratio of 1 cup sugar to 3/4 cup agave sugar. It is enough to preserve a dozen 1/2 pint jelly jars. Each jar has 16 servings of 1 Tbsp. -- posted by Dæl de Sunne Hamstede

Unmold just before serving. From the August 2002 issue of Gourmet Magazine. Cooking time is chilling time. -- posted by Chef Regina V. Smith
