Ingredients
- 2 lbs seedless red grapes, washed and dried well
- 1 lb seedless green grapes, washed and dried well
- 6 oz. Neufchatel cheese

Directions
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the Neufchatel cheese with an electric hand mixer until it turns smooth and airy, stopping now and then to scrape the bowl. Mix in the sour cream, honey, granulated sugar and vanilla until everything comes together.
- Add the red and green grapes to a salad bowl. Spoon the sour cream mixture over them, add about 3/4 of the pecans, and toss until the grapes are coated all over.
