Tips:

For the Best Cherries: Choose sweet, juicy cherries that are deep red in color and plump to the touch. Avoid any cherries that are bruised or have soft spots.
Prep the Cherries: Wash the cherries thoroughly and remove the stems and pits. You can use a cherry pitter to make this task easier.
Enhance the Flavor: To intensify the cherry flavor, macerate them in sugar or a mixture of sugar and liqueur for at least 30 minutes before using.
Add Crunch: For a textural contrast, add chopped nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans, to the salad.
Balance the Sweetness: If the cherries are particularly sweet, consider adding a tangy element to the salad, such as citrus zest or crumbled goat cheese.
Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as mint, basil, or tarragon, can add a refreshing touch to the salad. Use them sparingly to avoid overpowering the delicate cherry flavor.
Make it a Meal: To turn the cherry salad into a main course, add grilled chicken, roasted salmon, or crumbled feta cheese.
