Description
After dining at a cafe in Michigan about 10 years ago, I tried duplicating this scrumptious twist on Chicken Salad at home. The cherries can be ordered on-line these days, which makes it much easier for those of us living where cherries are not readily available. Regular milk can be substituted for buttermilk, if necessary.
Ingredients
- 3 cooked, boneless chicken breast halves, diced
- ⅓ cup dried cherries
- ⅓ cup diced celery
- ⅓ cup toasted, chopped pecans
- ⅓ cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon buttermilk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup cubed apples (Optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl
- combine the chicken
- dried cherries
- celery
- nuts
- mayonnaise
- milk
- salt and pepper and apple if desired. Toss together well and refrigerate until chilled. Serve on toasted cracked wheat bread or croissants.
