Salad with smoked chicken, pineapple cheese and corn

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a salad with smoked chicken, pineapple, cheese and corn? Very simple and fast. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Smoked chicken meat can be used from the breast, from the legs or shins. Which is better - choose according to taste. You can use store-bought or homemade mayonnaise.

2. Step 2:

   

   Disassemble the smoked chicken into fibers with your hands, removing the skin. I took half a smoked breast.

3. Step 3:

   

   Drain the liquid from the canned pineapples, dry them. If the pineapples are rings, then cut them into small pieces. It is advisable to squeeze the pineapples slightly so that the salad is not watery.

4. Step 4:

   

   Finely chop the Peking cabbage. To make the salad more tender in structure, it is better to take the green part of the leaf, and cut off the white part.

5. Step 5:

   

   Boil the carrots in the peel until tender. Then peel and grate on a coarse grater.

6. Step 6:

   

   Boil hard-boiled eggs, cool, peel and grate on a coarse grater. If desired, you can divide the eggs into whites and yolks and rub them separately. And then arrange them in separate layers.

7. Step 7:

   

   Drain the liquid from the canned corn, dry the grains.

8. Step 8:

   

   Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

10. Step 9:

    

    You can just put all the ingredients in layers in a salad bowl, but I prefer to make a salad in a cooking ring (Ø 16-18 cm) so that all the layers are visible. Put the pineapples in the first layer and pour mayonnaise over them. I put the mayonnaise in a pastry bag and cut off the tip. It's more convenient than using a spoon.

11. Step 10:

    

    Spread the smoked chicken in the next layer and pour mayonnaise on top. Try to tamp each layer better, then the salad will not fall apart as soon as you remove the cooking ring. If desired, you can sprinkle some layers with salt and pepper. I usually don't add spices to salads with mayonnaise.

12. Step 11:

    

    Next - grated eggs and mayonnaise.

13. Step 12:

    

    Followed by grated carrots, which also need to be poured with mayonnaise.

14. Step 13:

    

    Spread the canned corn on the carrots and lightly press into the previous layer to secure the grains. Watering corn with mayonnaise is optional.

15. Step 14:

    

    Sprinkle everything with grated cheese on top and make a mesh of mayonnaise.

16. Step 15:

    

    The last layer is shredded Peking cabbage. It does not need to be watered with mayonnaise. You can put the ingredients in a different order according to your taste. If you don't have the time or opportunity to form a salad in a ring, you can just mix everything in a salad bowl and pour mayonnaise over it.

17. Step 16:

    

    Decorate the finished salad with pineapples, corn kernels, fresh herbs and bright berries. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Carefully remove the cooking ring before serving. Bon appetit!
