I love the combination of textures in this sandwich. Its classic chicken salad changed up with the addition of dried cherries and pecans.

CHERRY CHICKEN SALAD

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.

SWEET & SAVORY CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES



Sweet & Savory Chicken Salad Sandwiches image

I usually double this recipe and it makes six large sandwiches and about 8 regular size. I created this recipe by changing a similar chicken salad recipe I have, and it's a big hit with my husband and kids alike. Also, I personlly don't like onion or celery by themselves, but I wouldn't leave them out of this recipe. Together, the flavors are all on point.
