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

1
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.

Badische Schupfnudeln (Potato Noodles)
Typical of Baden-Baden and the Baden-Wurttemberg state in southwestern Germany, schupfnudeln is a kind of spaeztle (homemade pasta) that gets its name from the Upper German word 'Schupfen,' meaning 'to shove, push, throw or chuck.' They are traditionally handmade by rolling out potato dough on a board and cutting the dough into noodles. Simple and easy to make, they are delicious and go well with almost anything: roast pork, racks of lamb, bits of bacon, sauerkraut, and any cabbage dishes.
Authentic Russian Salad 'Olivye'
This Russian salad recipe is what my mom and grandmother make every time there's a family gathering or a special occasion. Leave out the ham to make this a vegetarian dish. The potatoes, carrots, and eggs do not have to be completely chilled after boiling.
