Grape Salad

My  nana has been making this salad since I was a little girl.  Even though people usually serve it in  the warmer months I prefer it as a dessert  on chilly nights. Comfort food when I am wrapped up in a blanket watching television . It is very easy to make .Tastes a bit like cheesecake with chunks of grapes throughout it.Very yummy. You could use both red and green grapes. But I have always used sweet red grapes.The recipe calls for a topping that you make.But lately I have skipped that step all together and added a few handfuls  of granola.
