Cook pasta and cool. Add chicken, onion, celery, almonds and cherries. Add just enough poppy seed dressing to moisten. Add mayo. Let sit for 1 hour. May need to add more poppy seed dressing before serving to keep moist.

Can be made the day ahead. Leave out almonds and cherries and add those the next day.
