Chicken Salad

Chicken Salad with Pecans and Dried Cherries

Every time I go to Costco I make this salad because I love their chickens.  You can have this as a sandwich or serve it as an appetizer with crackers of choice.  I like Ritz.

1 Rotisserie Chicken or you and bake/roast your own.  About 4 pounds.  Diced/shredded

2 stalks of celery  finely diced

2 Fuji apples diced

6 – 8 Green onions diced.  About 1/2 – 3/4 cup depending on taste

5 – 6 Tablespoons of dried cherries

1 cup of pecans 1/2 length wise

For the dressing:

1/2 cup of Mayonnaise

2 – 3 Tablespoons sour cream

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1 Tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

Mix the dressing together in a small bowl before mixing with the rest of the ingredients.
