1 1/4 cups sliced almonds, divided

One 8-ounce package (226g)cream cheese, softened

1 cup (237) plain whole-milk strained (Greek-style) yogurt

1/2 cup granulated sugar (3 1/2 ounces; 100g)

Fremgangsmåte

In a medium skillet, toast almonds over medium heat, stirring often, until aromatic and just starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl, vigorously whisk and beat the cream cheese, yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, about 3 minutes. (Alternatively, use a handheld electric mixer to beat the ingredients.)

Gently fold in grapes, 1 cup almonds, and 1/4 cup of the mint until evenly incorporated.

Transfer grape salad to a platter. Garnish with brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup almonds, and remaining 1/4 cup mint.
