Chicken Cherry Salad


was out of town for a few days and had TWO cheat DAYS. I think it was really more like 3 cheat meals. got home and was watching live with Kelly & Emeril. Emeril prepared a meal that inspired my Chicken Cherry Salad. Got me back on track. Great for summer dinners and really quick!

1 cup fresh raw spinach (washed)
10 fresh cherries, cut in half and pitted
4 oz cold grilled chicken, cut into cubes
1 Tbsp. Brianna's blush wine vinaigrette (or homemade vinaigrette dressing)
2 TBSP sliced almonds

toss all ingredients in a small bowl, grab a fork and enjoy!
