I’ve recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good!
The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese and cucumbers, my “cracker” replacement.
I liked the combination so much I decided to turn it into a lunch salad. It was delicious! 
Here’s what I did…
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- pinch of kosher salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup dried cherries (40g)
- 1 Cucumber cut in chunks
- 1 Can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 Mini Babybel Sharp Original cut into small chunks
Add the vinegars, oil, parsley, salt, pepper and cherries in a large bowl. Whisk everything together.
Add the cucumber, chickpeas and cheese. Toss to coat everything.
Eat! :)

Wow, this looks delicious and sounds amazing! Cannot wait to try this :)
This reminds me of your other chick pea salad from this summer. It was awesome. I can’t wait to try this soon! I sure wish I would have read this earlier today. I would have loved to grab a cucumber and a can of chick peas. Bummer. Next week! :O)
Made this for supper. Changed the Baby Bell for lite feta and the dried cherries for raisins – very yummy!!
