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.

Chef John's Banana Bread
This banana bread by Chef John is spiked with dark chocolate chips and walnuts. Banana bread is one of those things people rarely make on purpose — only when those last 3 bananas are almost black. However, this scrumptious loaf is so good you'll want to make it well before the bananas reach that condition.
