This is one of my favorite recipes handed down from my great aunt. It is simple to make and looks very pretty for the holidays or any type of shower - baby shower, wedding shower or even housewarming party. This recipe will serve several, but for the holidays when I know there will be more than 10 people, I double the recipe. Hope you enjoy!!

Tips:
- Choose ripe, sweet grapes: The better the grapes, the better the salad will be. Look for grapes that are plump and have a deep color.
- Use a variety of grapes: Different types of grapes have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your salad more interest. Some good options include red grapes, green grapes, black grapes, and Muscat grapes.
- Add other fruits and nuts: To add more flavor and texture to your salad, try adding other fruits and nuts, such as berries, melon, apples, pears, walnuts, or almonds.
- Use a light, flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette or honey-lime dressing is a good option for grape salad. Avoid using heavy dressings, which will overpower the delicate flavor of the grapes.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the salad more refreshing.
