Shrimp salad with pineapple and cheese

A tasty, wholesome shrimp salad with an interesting dressing. The combination of ingredients is wonderful on its own, even before the dressing. But with the dressing the salad becomes not just delicious — it takes on a refined elegance in the best tradition of French cuisine. Swap the regular hard cheese for a blue cheese and you've got a restaurant-worthy dish.

Step 1:

How do you make a shrimp salad with pineapple and cheese? Gather the ingredients. To make this salad with shrimp and pineapple, you'll need: shrimp (at least 200 g peeled), canned pineapple, leaf lettuce, cheese, and an egg.
Step 2:

Boil the shrimp ahead of time in salted water with a bay leaf and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Then drain the water, cool the shrimp, and peel them.
Step 3:

Hard-boil the egg. Cool it, peel it, and cut it into 4 pieces.
Step 4:

Cut the cheese into small pieces.
Step 5:

Take the pineapple out of the can, shake off the syrup, and cut it into small pieces.
Step 6:

The dressing. For the dressing you'll need: plain yogurt (Greek works well), prepared Dijon mustard (whole-grain is fine), granulated garlic, ground black pepper, and salt.
Step 7:

Combine the yogurt with the mustard, granulated garlic, ground black pepper, and salt.
Step 8:

Mix everything well.
Step 9:

Wash the lettuce leaves, dry them, and tear them by hand. Arrange the lettuce on a plate. Place the egg quarters on top.
Step 10:

Add the cheese and pineapple on top.
Step 11:

Add the shrimp.
Step 12:

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve. You can lightly sprinkle it with freshly ground pepper.

Shrimp meat is a real natural storehouse of micro- and macronutrients. It's especially rich in iodine, plus sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and half the periodic table besides. Shrimp meat has plenty of protein and almost no fat, which makes it good for an evening snack. In general, I've made a rule for myself: if I'm really hungry late at night, never drink tea. Because with tea, somehow, almost on their own, gingerbread and cookies appear, and a long-forgotten candy turns up in the cupboard... No, it's better to eat something high in protein and low in calories: a piece of chicken (not fried), lean beef, or seafood. I can eat unlimited amounts of those. It's both satisfying and good for you.
How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep the eggs from cracking, put them in cold water and set them over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then cover them with cold water to cool. The sudden temperature change makes the shells peel more easily.
The salad looks neat and pretty if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (cubes, for example).
