Step 1:

How do you make pineapple salad? Gather the ingredients. Drain all the juice from the canned pineapple. Pat the fruit dry with a paper towel. Use any cheese to your taste. I recommend using homemade mayonnaise.
Step 2:

Cut the pineapple into small pieces and squeeze it lightly.
Step 3:

Grate the cheese on a medium grater, setting a little aside for garnish.
Step 4:

In a suitably sized salad bowl, mix together the pineapple, cheese, and garlic run through a press.
Step 5:

Add mayonnaise and ground black pepper to the salad.
Step 6:

Mix everything thoroughly. The mixture should be quite dense and hold its shape, so add the mayonnaise gradually. Keep in mind that you may need more or less than I did.
Step 7:

Set a ring mold (4.5-5.5 inches in diameter) on a plate or dish and pack the salad into it.
Step 8:

Pack it down well with a spoon or the bottom of a glass. Put the salad with the ring in the fridge for 15 minutes so it sets nicely.
Step 9:

Take the salad out of the fridge and carefully lift off the ring.
Step 10:

Sprinkle the reserved grated cheese over the top, lay pineapple rings on top of that, and garnish with parsley or other herbs. I also decorated it with olives. Enjoy!

Despite its very simple ingredients, the salad turns out very tasty. You can also round it out with other ingredients: chicken (boiled, fried, or smoked), onion, egg, walnuts, green olives, tomatoes, and so on. You can serve it different ways too: in individual portions, on a shared dish, layered, or mixed. It looks very pretty served in a glass or as little towers on a piece of pineapple.
It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself - it's tastier and better for you. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as a dressing instead of mayonnaise. Use them on their own or mix them with mayonnaise in any ratio you like - this will cut the dish's calories.
