  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted if desired
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Dash pepper
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • 8 slices multi-grain bread

Steps

  • 1
    In medium bowl, combine chicken, cherries, walnuts, mayonnaise, salt and pepper; mix well.
  • 2
    Layer lettuce and chicken salad on 4 slices of bread. Top with remaining bread slices.

  • Dried cherries are deep crimson and have an intense cherry flavor. Use them instead of raisins in breads, desserts, salads and stuffings.
  • 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.
  • 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.
