Seasonal snacking: Great grape recipes

Most of the time, we snack on grapes all on their lonesome and don’t think twice about it. But, these tasty little fruits can star in recipes from breakfast to dinner, with everything in between.

Up your grape game with these great grape recipes.

1) Candied grapes

Any runners with a sweet tooth have to give this recipe a try. All you need are some grapes and jello powder. Voila, you have Sour Patch Kids, the healthier version.

2) Grape avocado arugula salad

Arugula is upgraded with grapes, avocado, goat cheese and walnuts. Served best with a homemade vinaigrette.

3) Greek yogurt covered grapes

The yogurt-covered almonds at the grocery always get me. I think, “oh almonds and yogurt are both healthy, therefore yogurt-covered almonds are healthy.” But it’s not true. These homemade Greek yogurt-covered grapes are healthy.

4) Mediterranean grilled chicken and grape skewers

This is a fun kebab recipe, as grilling the grapes intensifies their flavour. Alternated with chicken, these skewers look great too.

5) Roasted grape honey sweet potatoes

Sweet potato, red grapes and goat cheese make for an unexpected flavour combination. This recipe is an absolute must-try.

6) Curried chicken salad with apples and grapes

This is a satisfying main, with chicken as a protein source, apples and celery for fibre, grapes for a burst of flavour and almonds for healthy fats, this salad has everything you need.

7) Cucumber green grape and avocado salad

Cucumber, green grapes and avocado? Pretty much all the best green things in one meal (sorry kale). These greens are lightly coated in olive oil and white wine vinegar with mint. Perfect for a light and tasty summer side.

8) Walnut, grape and kale quinoa

Tear up your kale into pieces, chop up some pear, halve some grapes, cook some quinoa and you’re ready to roll with this easy summer meal. Any leftovers are great as a next-day lunch.

9) Chicken feta grape apple salad

Green apple and grapes, with walnuts and chicken, served on fresh spinach with a balsamic vinaigrette. Yum.

10) Cucumber and grape poppy seed salad

Grapes meet grape tomatoes and cucumber with a healthy Greek yogurt-based dressing. Poppy seeds, lemon juice and ginger keep things interesting in this elevated fruit salad.
