Cherry, Chicken, and Pecan Wheat Berry Salad
What a fantastic combo! If you can't find fresh cherries, add 1/4 cup boiling water to 1/4 cup dried cherries. Let stand 10 minutes; drain and chop.

Great combination of ingredients. I wouldn't change a thing.
Doesn't get any better than this. Really delicious. Great at room temperature or chilled. I often will make ahead and bring for lunch.
Rotisserie chicken works great, or I'll just grill some up.
This is delicious. Amazing flavor and great contrasting textures.
Good - worth making! Interesting flavor combination - particularly good when you get a little of each ingredient in one bite. I poached my chicken breast with salt, peppercorns, and a sprig of thyme, but would have used leftover roasted chicken, if I had any, to reduce prep time. I've made this twice; used pine nuts instead of pecans the second time and they worked very well. Also reduced the oil in the dressing to 2 T; kept vinegar the same. The instructions could use some detail about cooling ingredients; I let the mixture cool to room temp before adding arugula so it it wouldn't wilt completely; and I added the toasted nuts at the end to maintain their crunch. Eating the pine nuts version right now and enjoying it very much!
Might want to clarify that the shredded chicken breast should be cooked.
