Cherry Nut Chicken Salad

This time of the year I am always looking for a great dish to take to a social event.  We live in a rural area so most of the time it is a covered dish event.  One of the new dishes that I developed this season is this Cherry Nut Chicken Salad.  It is a great Chicken Salad that you can really do so many different things with.  Today I am sharing it with you on a luncheon plate for a ladies luncheon, and I also took it in my puffs to another event and it was great.  I am excited to share it with you today.
