Cherry Almond Chicken Salad

I think I’ve been doing pretty well with embracing fall this year–drinking even more hot tea than usual, almost always working on a crochet project, living in sweaters, plus of course creating recent recipes like Apple Cider Kombucha and Pumpkin Overnight Oats… and then I got a craving for chicken salad, which I would most definitely consider a “summer food.”

And that craving just wouldn’t go away. So I did what I had to do–I answered it with this Cherry Almond Chicken Salad.

We could throw this chicken salad in with the rest of the posts in the category of “so easy you don’t actually need a recipe,” but Oliver particularly liked this one, so I thought I’d go ahead and share it with you here.

To be honest, I rarely make chicken salad the same way twice, but typically for the fruit component I’ll use apples, dried cranberries, or the more traditional grapes. Dried cherries are probably my favorite dried fruit, so I figured they deserved a shot. And you know, I think they play the role quite nicely.

We’ll keep this brief today. Without further ado, here’s the recipe for Cherry Almond Chicken Salad!
