Notes
Best way to Soften Cream Cheese
Cream cheese isn't very pliable until it's softened. We usually pull out the cream cheese, remove the packaging, and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before needing to mix it.
How to store Grape Salad
Grapes have a lot of juicy, and naturally, those juices begin to get into the cream cheese dressing over time. This dish can be stored in an airtight container but only last a few days in the fridge. If you cut the grapes in half to serve, the dressing can even become runnier in a day or so.
As a note, crunchy walnuts in the fridge can become softer over time.
Substitute options for Plain Greek Yogurt
The best substitute for unflavored Greek Yogurt is full-fat sour cream.
