Chicken, Pecan & Cherry Salad image

Already cooked chicken strips make this a super easy meal when I'm trying to get dinner on the table in a hurry. Grabbing a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is another road to take when time is short and hungry family members surround the table! -Kellie Mulleavy, Lambertville, Michigan

I'm not a huge fan of pecans, so I substituted walnuts instead.
