Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Dried cherries are deep crimson and have an intense cherry flavor. Use them instead of raisins in breads, desserts, salads and stuffings.
  • tip 2
    Homebaked or purchased nut bread can be used in pace of the multi-grain bread for these sandwiches. Use one piece of nut bread for each sandwich and serve them open-face, garnished with a walnut half and a dried cherry.
  • tip 3
    For a bit of citrus zing, add 1/2 teaspoon of finely shredded orange zest to the chicken salad. Use only the zest, which is the flavorful, colorful outside part of the peel. The white pith underneath tastes bitter.
