Will mixing sand with clay soil be bad for grass later?

A few weeks ago, we rented a little excavator and cleared part of our yard of bamboo stumps. I want to take advantage of having such a big gardenable area while I can (before we put down grass seed later) and plant some fall vegetables there, but the veggies I want to plant don't like heavy clay soil. If I mix in a little sand with the clay, will that be bad for planting grass later? Will the grass that grows where there's some sand mixed in look different from the grass that grows where it's just the VA red clay?
