Grape Salad

2 lbs. grapes (1/2 red, 1/2 green)

1/2 teaspoon almond extract
sliced almonds (desired amount)
brown sugar (sprinkle on top)

1. Using an electric mixer mix the sour cream, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and almond extract until smooth.
2. Add the almonds and stir until just mixed in.
3. Stir half the topping mixture through the grapes. Then repeat with the other half of the topping mixture.

I recently had a salad like this and it is amazing. To make the version I had omit the vanilla and almond extract and put in cashews instead of the almonds. It's amazing!

This was really good. And Becky's right: it is interchangeable as a side dish or a dessert. The almond extract is so good in it.

i should have mentioned that i used fat-free sour cream and neufchatel cheese with no ill effects. also, used only red grapes as that's all the store had.
