- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 4 ounces chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients required for the salad to ensure a smooth cooking process.

Notes
- For a less sweet version, reduce the amount of brown sugar to your taste.
- This salad tastes best when prepared at least a few hours in advance or the day before serving to let the flavors develop.
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
- Make sure grapes are thoroughly dried after washing to prevent watery salad.
- Keep refrigerated until serving to maintain freshness and creaminess.
