Cherry Chicken Pasta Salad

1c chopped celery
1c chopped sweet onion
1/2c± mayonnaise
salt and pepper

12oz. roasted chicken meat
3-4c al denté cooked pasta


Combine the chopped vegetables, cherries, dressing, salt and pepper; in a medium bowl, while cooking the pasta; to rehydrate and flavor the cherries. Drain the pasta then rinse well in very cold water. Drain well again, before adding to the bowl. Shake the lemon-oil dressing. Add that, the chicken and mayonnaise. Gently combine then check the flavors, making any needed adjustments. I always think of salads like this as strictly summer food. I was craving it and so glad I made it, for a nice change from heavy winter foods. . .Lin
