Notes
- The original salad had dried cranberries but I thought cherries would be better. Honestly, either would work just fine.
- I top 2 cups of this salad with a few ounces of grilled chicken to make a complete meal. It's fantastic!
- I listed this as Paleo but you need to buy paleo friendly dried fruit of course.
- The total recipe made 16 cups so I calculated the nutritional information based on 2 cup servings.
