Ingredients

  • Seedless grapes (2 cups, washed and dried)
  • Blue cheese (4 ounces, crumbled)
  • Walnuts (1/2 cup, finely chopped)
  • Honey (2 tablespoons)
  • Fresh thyme (1 tablespoon, chopped)

Instructions

  1. Begin by washing the seedless grapes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese with the finely chopped walnuts. Stir well until the mixture is cohesive and well-combined.
  3. Take each grape and carefully roll it in the blue cheese and walnut mixture, ensuring that each grape is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Once coated, arrange the grapes elegantly on a serving platter. Drizzle them generously with honey to enhance their natural sweetness.
  5. For a burst of freshness, sprinkle the chopped fresh thyme over the grapes, adding a lovely herbal note.
  6. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to chill.
