cherry chicken salad
Updated on May 29, 2023
Northern Michigan is known for it's summer cherries. We love them fresh, dried, in dips, salsas, bbq sauces, chocolate covered, etc... I love adding dried cherries to my chicken salad. I love to serve this with croissants but any bread or toast will do - or eat it without any bread at all!
