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
- 0.33 cups dried cherries
- 0.33 cups diced celery
- 0.33 cups toasted , chopped pecans
- 0.33 cups low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon buttermilk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.33 cups 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.

Tanya's Boneless Short Ribs
Boneless, simmering short ribs broiled then thrown in the oven. Easy as 1-2-3. Hubby LOVES this dish and whines when I don't make it. If you like LOTS of sauce double the liquid amounts. Great for indoor cooking nights....
Rhode Island Red Clam Chowder
How can a New Englander love Manhattan over New England clam chowder? Because I like to taste the clams, not just heavy cream with lumps. I came up with this recipe today using what I had on hand, but feel free to improvise. This tastes just like the chowder you get at the beach with clam cakes! When reheating, do not boil or it will 'rubberize' the clams.
Chicken Salad Spread
The chicken salad spread is quick and easy. Add a few drops of hot sauce to the mixture if you want a little zip! Serve on lettuce for a salad or on bread for a sandwich.
