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.
