Today we offer you a selection of delicious salads with … grapes. Why? Because it's simple and delicious. Now is the time to enjoy this juicy and incredibly healthy berry.;)

In addition to pleasant taste, grapes also have a lot of useful properties: it helps to strengthen the immune system and tones up. Juicy berries contain sugar, fiber, organic acids, ascorbic acid, vitamins (five B vitamins, vitamins PP, H, A, C, E), pectin substances, trace elements (zinc, iron, copper, iodine, chromium, manganese, fluorine, boron, molybdenum, silicon, vanadium and others), macronutrients (magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine) and enzymes. Grape skins contain wax and phytosterols - substances that have antioxidant, immunostimulating, anti-sclerotic and anti-cancer effects

Phytosterols - plant sterols, structurally similar to cholesterol, have antiatherosclerotic, cancer prophylactic, antioxidant and immunostimulating activity.

Grapes with cream cheese and walnuts

Ingredients:

• 1 kg seedless green grapes;
• 240 g cream cheese;
• 1 glass of sour cream;
• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• ½ cup brown sugar.

Preparation

Rinse the grapes and separate the berries from the sprig. In a separate small bowl, mix cream cheese with sour cream, white and vanilla sugar. Put the grapes in a salad bowl, add the sour cream cheese mass there and mix well. Top with nuts and sprinkle with brown sugar.

I bought very sweet grapes, so I literally added 2 tablespoons of sugar - that was enough. Since I love spices, I decided to add literally a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon to the salad - I didn’t regret it! It turned out very tasty and very satisfying. I think this salad is a great way to replenish your energy reserves after training.;)
