Waldorf Salad

I'm going over our Christmas menu and this year we are going to mix it up. We usually have prime rib - but this year we are doing prime rib on New Years - so I'm revamping.

Talking to a friend the other day and she said that for ALL big holiday meals they serve a Waldorf Salad on the side. To be honest - I don't know if I've ever even had it - but it sounds interesting and I really love a salad with apples and grapes in it - so what the heck? I'm going to give it a try. If we don't like it - at least we'll have apples and grapes on hand! This is her recipe:

A New Spin on the Waldorf Salad
1 lb green seedless grapes
2 lbs red seedless grapes
1 lb diced red apples
8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1 c sour cream
1/2 c white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 c chopped pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar

In a large mixing bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, white sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer or hand mixer. You can use a mixer or mix by hand with a spatula. Add the grapes to the cream cheese mixture and stir thoroughly to coat. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Sprinkle brown sugar over the grape mixture. Cover and refrigerate 2-3 hours until ready to serve. Right before serving sprinkle nuts on top.
