Grape Salad

Tierra uses Culina Yogurt's bourbon vanilla yogurt in her recipe but she says to make sure to choose a yogurt that doesn't have a ton of added sugar. 

For a sweeter version that could also double as breakfast, she uses Culina's strawberry rose flavor and tops with granola. If you want less sweet, Tierra recommends using just a plain yogurt and drizzling with honey.

Recipe

  • 1/2 cup green grapes, sliced
  • 1/2 cup red grapes, sliced
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt 
  • 3/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped. Toast the walnuts for 8-12 minutes on 350° then mix it all up & enjoy!!!
