Cherry Chicken Salad Recipe
I attempted recreating this delectable take on Chicken Salad at home after dining at a bistro in Michigan around ten years ago. These days, cherries may be obtained online, making life much easier for those of us who live in areas where cherries are not frequently available. If buttermilk isn't available, regular milk can be used instead.
