Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make salad with chicken, pineapple, walnuts, and cheese? Get everything ready. You can use any part of the chicken; I used breast fillet. Put the meat in boiling water and cook for 30 minutes. Then take the chicken out of the broth and cool it completely. You can use canned pineapple — open the can and drain off the juice.
Step 2:

Chop the walnuts a little with a knife and toast them in a dry skillet. Stir them constantly so they don't start to burn. Toast for 3–4 minutes, until they smell fragrant. Right after toasting, tip the nuts onto a plate — left in the pan, they can scorch. Let the toasted nuts cool.
Step 3:

Cut the cooled chicken into pieces.
Step 4:

To assemble the salad, use a serving ring or a springform pan. Set it on the plate you'll serve the salad on. Lay the chopped chicken on the bottom and press it down gently with your hands so it packs together. Coat this layer and every layer after it with a little mayonnaise.
Step 5:

Cut the canned pineapple into small cubes and add it as the second layer, right on the chicken.
Step 6:

Add the cooled walnuts as the next layer. Toasted nuts take on a lovely taste and aroma that nicely rounds out the finished salad.
Step 7:

The final layer is cheese. Grate it on the fine side and sprinkle it generously over the top. Lift off the ring. Refrigerate the finished salad so it chills a little and the flavors meld.
Step 8:

Before serving, decorate the salad to your taste. Enjoy!

It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself — it'll be tastier and healthier. You can also dress it with sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise, on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in any ratio you like, which cuts the calories.
