I made this for a casual holiday brunch, paired with breakfast casserole & assorted sweet breads. It's good -- I used all green grapes b/c the red ones just didn't look good at the store -- but I thought amount of the dressing mixture was a bit much - it filled the bowl, and the fruit was almost swiming in it. I do like the fruit combo, and will make this again but will likely halve the dressing part.
