Quick Frozen Grape Recipe for Dieters
While they are absolutely delicious when enjoyed in their raw state, I like to place them on a sheet of wax paper and pop them into the freezer for about half an hour.

When I remove them they are almost at a frozen stage, and in the summer time, they are a very welcome, ice cold treat and make a lovely snack.
Other Uses for Grapes in the Daily Diet
While they are often part of a fruit salad, they can also be added to dinner salads. They'll add color as well as a burst of sweetness. Just be sure to use the seedless varieties.
And the fantastic thing is that grapes are available in a variety of colors - from green to dark green to light and dark purple and yes, even red. Think about all those beautiful colors in your next salad bowl - just waiting for you to take that first healthy bite.
Light, Fruit Based Dressings for Your Salad
Salads that are prepared with grapes and other fresh fruits often are complimented well with fruit-based salad dressings. We recommend the reduced fat varieties which will allow you to save several calories - and lots of fat grams.

They are also a popular star in many fruit cocktail recipes. I know that every time that I open up a can of fruit cocktail that's packed in its natural juices, the first thing that I look for are the green grapes. I just love them; my husband goes for the cherries. It's all good.
