Author Notes: Just experimenting with salads and fresh cherries. I think nuts and cheese round out the cherry in a salad. Add just a hint of anchovy for depth. I am trying to play up the strong complementary colors here along with the contrast of textures and tastes. At the same time I am trying to keep this simple and easy. This is a small portion size given here, which you can easily multiply. - Sagegreen
