Mixed Green Salad with Chicken & Sour Cherry Vinaigrette
This salad praises the passing time of sharp cherries — it's short and they're very transitory, so scoop them up when you see them and appreciate them inside two or three days. Here we highlight them alongside dried harsh cherries, chicken, toasted pecans and blue cheddar in a flavor-pressed salad. At the point when acrid cherries are unavailable, you can trade in frozen harsh cherries; simply make certain to defrost them prior to utilizing.
