Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make a salad with chicken, pineapple, cheese, and egg? Get the ingredients ready. We'll make the salad in individual portions, so you'll need a ring mold to give it a round shape. Cut the boiled chicken fillet into small cubes. Put a little into the salad ring. Brush the first layer with a small amount of mayonnaise.
Step 2:

For the second layer, add the finely chopped pineapple. Use canned pineapple. Drain the liquid from the can and cut the pineapple into small cubes. Brush the second layer with mayonnaise.
Step 3:

Grate the hard cheese on the fine side. Add it as the next layer in the ring. Press the cheese down firmly with a spoon.
Step 4:

Brush this layer of salad with mayonnaise too.
Step 5:

Grate the boiled eggs on the coarse side and add them as the last layer. Press down firmly with a spoon again. No mayonnaise needed here. Then lift the ring off the salad.
Step 6:

Our salad is ready. It's best to let it sit a while so the layers soak and take on each other's flavors and aromas. If you like, sprinkle the top with chopped walnuts and a little fresh herbs. Enjoy!

If you want to go all out for the holiday, make this chicken-and-pineapple salad for the festive table instead of the usual ones. Fruit pairs beautifully with chicken salads, adding a tender, light note to the flavor. Served in individual portions, it looks elegant and festive at any celebration. You can easily swap the boiled chicken for smoked — that makes the salad's flavor brighter and richer. If you like, add other ingredients too, such as champignons, corn, or even croutons. The salad is quite filling, and you can just as well make it for an ordinary everyday family lunch or dinner. It's best served chilled.
The salad looks neat and pretty if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (cubes, for example).
It's better to make mayonnaise yourself — it'll be tastier and healthier. See the interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use not just mayonnaise as a dressing, but sour cream or plain yogurt — on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion you like; that cuts the dish's calories.
