To make the Grape Salad recipe more Weight Watchers-friendly, we’ll need to adjust the ingredients and provide the SmartPoints values where applicable. Here’s a modified version:

Weight Watchers-Friendly Creamy Grape Salad

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces fat-free cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol, Stevia)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 pounds green grapes, seedless (rinsed and dried)
  • 2 pounds red grapes, seedless (rinsed and dried)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol brown sugar blend)
  • Optional: Pecans for topping (adjust SmartPoints accordingly)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Grapes:
    Rinse and thoroughly dry the green and red grapes. Set them aside.
  2. Creamy Base:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened fat-free cream cheese, fat-free sour cream, granulated sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth.
  3. Combine with Grapes:
    Gently fold the green and red grapes into the creamy mixture until all grapes are evenly coated.
  4. Sweet Drizzle:
    Sprinkle the brown sugar substitute over the grape and cream mixture. Gently fold it in, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Chill and Marinate:
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Optional Crunch:
    If desired, top with pecans just before serving for added texture. Adjust SmartPoints accordingly based on the amount used.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    Give the salad a final gentle stir before serving. Enjoy as a sweet side dish or dessert.
