Chill (Optional): For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve on a sandwich, in lettuce wraps, over a green salad, or with crackers.

Add sweetness: Swap grapes for chopped apples or dried cranberries.
Add crunch: Try sunflower seeds or chopped pickles for extra texture.
