What each ingredient does

Fresh cherries: Provide a tart, juicy base that gives the salad its fresh texture.
Filberts: Add a crunchy texture that contrasts with the soft fruit.
Maraschino cherries: Add concentrated sweetness and a bright, syrupy flavor.
Candied cherries: Add sweetness and a chewy, sugary texture.
