Cherry Chicken Salad Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Adzell / All my dishes 8 months, 1 week ago I made up this recipe for chicken salad after trying a version of it at a coffee house. It is always a big hit in the summer time because of how light it is. Sometimes I also add in a few green onions to switch up the taste. Great on wheat crackers or croissants! ...

Hi adzell! Made this for the swap and it was delicious! The hint of honey was perfect for this and I loved the cherries as well! Can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow! This would be great with any dried fruit, thanks for the great recipe!

Made this today for lunch with some leftover roast chicken that i made for dinner last night...so good!! I did have to make a couple minor changes due to lack of ingredients...I used plain yogurt in place of the buttermilk and used red wine vinegar in place of the lemon juice. Made lettuce wraps with them...yum!! Will post a pic soon :)

This is great recipe. Instead of cherries I like to use grapes or mandarin oranges and cashews are great too.

You may have to add in more mayo and/or buttermilk once it has sat overnight. It all depends on how creamy you like your chicken salad!
