- If you are making individual portions, put the grapes into individual serving dishes, as many as you need. 3 cups of chopped grapes will serve about 10 people. Lightly sprinkle with brown sugar and chopped pecans.
- Put the salads in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This salad is best served cold.

- Cover your salad and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Put the remaining dressing into a container and store in the fridge until ready to make more grape salad.
