This is the salad that our friends kids always request that I make for the 4th of July potluck! I've used green grapes too...and use brown sugar instead of white in cream cheese mix. I don't use the pecans and brown sugar on top when we're camping because no one worries about presentation at the campground! Did see a lady drizzle carmel topping over and sprinkle with pecans for a bridal shower.

If anyone has any doubts about this recipe I will attest that it is absolutely yummy and so darn easy to make. Keeps well too if you have leftovers. Great salad for a brunch.
