Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make Hawaiian salad with chicken and pineapple? Gather the ingredients. Boil the chicken fillet and eggs ahead of time and chill them. It's best to use pineapple rings — they're sweeter and tastier. Use a hard or semi-hard cheese; the main thing is that it's tasty, with a bold flavor.
Step 2:

Boil the fillet. How do you cook chicken fillet? Lower it into boiling salted water. Cook it over medium heat until done, 30–40 minutes depending on size. Then take it out of the broth and cut it into small cubes. Instead of boiled breast, you can use ready-made smoked chicken. It's even tastier if you sprinkle the fillet with salt and spices (curry, herbes de Provence, ground black pepper) and bake it in foil until done.
Step 3:

Drain the pineapple. Squeeze the rings gently and cut them into small pieces.
Step 4:

Hard-boil the eggs, cool them, and peel them. Cut them into small cubes.
Step 5:

Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
Step 6:

Combine the chicken, pineapple, eggs, and cheese in a salad bowl.
Step 7:

Dress the salad with mayonnaise. You can make the mayonnaise yourself.
Step 8:

Stir everything well. Chill the salad in the fridge for a bit so the flavors meld, then serve. You can serve it in a salad bowl, portion it into individual dessert cups, or shape it with a plating ring. Enjoy!

How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep the eggs from cracking as they cook, put them in cold water and cook 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 change in temperature makes the shells easier to peel.
It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself — it'll be tastier and healthier. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also dress the salad with sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Use them on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in any ratio you like — that will cut down the calories.
Make salads only from fully chilled ingredients. If made from warm ones, the salad can spoil quickly.
