Whisk everything together.1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, pinch of kosher salt and pepper, ¼ cup dried cherries, 2 Mini Babybel Sharp Original cut into small chunks

Notes
- Of course, you could use any cheese you like but the sharp is what goes great with the cherries. When I originally posted this recipe I was working with Laughing Cow, hence the name brand product placement.
- Sometimes I like to cut the cherries in half. They can be quite large!
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a potluck!
