How to Put It Together

• Pull purple grapes from their stems and drop them into a medium mixing bowl. Rinse them and pat them dry completely. Wet grapes will dilute the yogurt and make everything slide around instead of cling.
  4 Cups Purple Grapes
• Add vanilla Greek yogurt directly to the bowl. Don't use regular yogurt as it will create a runny mess. Greek yogurt's thickness is what makes this work. If you only have plain Greek yogurt, add a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract and an extra teaspoon of brown sugar to mimic the flavor.
  1 Cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt
• Toss in the walnuts. Use a spatula or big spoon to fold everything together until every grape is coated. You want to see yogurt clinging to the fruit, not pooling at the bottom.
  ½ Cup Walnuts
• Taste it. This is where you decide if you need brown sugar. Start with one tablespoon, stir it in, taste again. If the grapes are tart and the yogurt feels too sharp, add another tablespoon.
  1-2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
• Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate. It's good right away, but even better after an hour when the flavors marry and the walnuts soften just slightly.
• The whole thing takes ten minutes, maybe seven if you're grinding your own walnuts. No cooking, no waiting, no stress.
