Salad with Walnuts and Pineapple

Fans of the exotic will be won over on the spot! Tender, appetizing, and quick! This salad with pineapple, ham, and nuts is a New Year's salad — at least that's what my kids call it. It's become our tradition to make it for New Year's instead of the usual Olivier. I stumbled on the recipe completely by chance: I wanted something new, so I picked up a few of those thin recipe booklets. Usually we take a couple of recipes from them and tweak them in our own kitchen, but this one needed no changes at all. Everything is in harmony and the ingredients go together beautifully. I worried the pineapple would be too sweet and out of place, but it fit right in.

  • Boil the eggs and potatoes, then cool and peel them. Grate the eggs and potatoes on the coarse side of a grater, keeping them in separate bowls. Cut the onion into thin half-rings and scald it with boiling water. Cut the ham into thin strips and the pineapple into cubes. Toast the walnuts briefly in a dry skillet, put them in a bag, and go over it a few times with a rolling pin to crush them. In a deep salad bowl, layer half the potatoes, season with salt, and spread with mayonnaise. Top with half the ham, more mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of nuts. Add the onion, eggs, and pineapple, then spread with mayonnaise. Repeat: potatoes, ham, nuts, onion, eggs, and pineapple — don't forget the mayonnaise. Finish with a scattering of walnuts on top and refrigerate so the layers can meld.
