My husband hated even the mention of chicken salad until he tried this. Now he requests it regularly!

This is an excellent chicken salad with minor tweaks. As a previous reviewer mentioned the mustard was too much. I reduced the mustard in half and I think I actually could have reduced it further with 1 tablespoon total. I will use sliced green onion the next time too. Come to think of it a few more cherries would be nice also......maybe as a garnish. Make sure you make ahead and chill to blend flavors. I served this over romaine with a handfull of candied pecans to garnish. Thanks CHARISMOM this was very good and is going into my salad rotation. Read More

Very good. My wife and daughter prepared it according to the recipe last night. They served it in pita pockets. The basic chicken salad would be good by itself but the dried cherries add a note that makes it memorable. I wonder if there are any leftovers? Read More

Loved it. I used dried sweet bing cherries. Worth a trip to Trader Joe's for the cherries. I served it on a croissant for a treat. Read More

I am always looking for a good dressing to put on cherry chicken salad and this one was great. The Dijon mustard is a new twist for me and I hesitated to use all that it said. I thought 2 TBL was enough for the chicken amount. It was better after the flavors blended together the next day though. I'll definitely use it again. Read More

This is a favorite for summer boating. I serve it wrapped in a tortilla or other flat bread with lettuce. We like 1/4 to 1/2 cup blue cheese mixed in too. I think it compliments the cherries nicely. Read More
