Ingredients

1/2 cup Shelled pecans
1/2 cup Shelled pistachios
1/2 cup Shelled walnuts
3/4 (6 ounce) package Reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temp (Neufchatel)
4 ounces Blue cheese
12 ounces Seedless grapes, stemmed, rinsed and dried

Preparation

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place nuts, each kind separate, on a rimmed baking sheet.

Bake, stirring once or twice, 8-10 minutes until lightly toasted. Let cool.

2In a food processor, pulse one kind of nut at a time, until just finely chopped (don't overprocess). Place in separate bowls.

3Remove blade; wipe processor bowl clean. Add cheeses; process until blended and smooth. Scrape into a medium bowl.

4Line rimmed baking sheet with wax paper. Gently fold grapes into cheese mixture. Remove 1 coated grape at a time with a spoon, then push grape gently into one of the bowls of chopped nuts. Shake bowl to turn grape until coated. Place on lined baking sheet.

5To serve: Arrange grapes on a leaf-lined plate to resemble a bunch of grapes.
