Description

I think dried cherries give this Chicken Salad that perfect sweetness with just the right amount of tart, and the toasted nuts add the perfect crunch. This is salad is always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Boiled, And Cubed Chicken Breast
  • ¾ cups Toasted Slivered Almonds
  • 1 cup Chopped Celery
  • ½ cups Finely Chopped Sweet Onion
  • 1 cup Dried Cherries, Rough Chopped
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • ½ cups Sour Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • ½ whole Lemon, Juiced
  • 1 teaspoon Seasoning Salt

Preparation

Prep chicken and nuts ahead:
Boil chicken breast, cool, and cut into small cubes.
Toast nuts on a baking sheet for 3 minutes in a 350F oven.

Assembling salad:
Combine cubed chicken, chopped celery, onion, and cherries in a mixing bowl.

Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, and seasoning salt in a smaller mixing bowl. Whisk together until smooth.

Pour salad dressing over chopped ingredients and fold together. Fold in toasted nuts.

Serve alone, or on bread. We really enjoy this salad on croissants. Delicious!

I’m collecting chicken salad recipes because we love some chicken salad! I thought this was great, and next time I will eat it on a croissant as suggested. I broiled my chicken instead…
