Let's look at some delicious chicken and pineapple salad recipes. Almost all of them have chicken as the main ingredient. You can easily buy it at any nearby store. Chicken meat is considered dietary. The meat of this bird has a positive effect on our entire body. Easy to digest. You just shouldn’t overuse smoked chicken and be careful with those with allergies. And pineapple, an important ingredient, is very healthy. The healing properties of pineapple lie in its powerful ability to accelerate metabolism and activate fat burning processes. Nutritionists recommend including it in your diet for people watching their figure. Therefore, we can confidently call all salads based on pineapple and chicken breast light and dietary. All salads are dressed with mayonnaise, but you can replace it with any dietary sauce. So experiment and be healthy!

I would also like to remind you that we put any meat in hot water so that the protein curls and all the meat juice remains inside, and does not go all into the broth. Only when soups are cooked is the meat placed in cold water so that the meat juice goes into the broth. Then your salads will be not only tasty, but also healthy.

I hope you will prepare some of these salads and even the most picky gourmet will be satisfied with your culinary abilities!

So, the first recipe...

Today we will prepare a very tender and tasty chicken salad with pineapple. Some will say that pineapple is not very suitable for salads, but this is not true. The tender chicken meat and the sweet taste of pineapple go well together. This salad is also quite healthy and not very high in calories. At the same time, it is also filling. Preparing a salad is not difficult. All ingredients can be easily purchased in the store. So get ready and surprise your family and friends.

The salad is perfect for any holiday. And you know what I noticed? My guests ate it first. It seems that the salad is being prepared from the most ordinary ingredients, but all together they give an unforgettable taste.

Ingredients

• Chicken (chicken meat)
• Canned pineapples - 1 can
• Cheese - 150 gr.
• Boiled eggs - 5 pcs.
• Onion - optional
• Mayonnaise

Chicken, well, any chicken meat in general, needs to be boiled in salted water until cooked.

By the way, this salad is also good because after boiling the chicken, you can cook a wonderful soup with broth, for example with noodles. The children adore him.

If you use onions in a salad, you must first scald them with boiling water. This way it will lose its bitterness and will not be so hot.

Let's prepare all the ingredients. And in general, no matter what kind of salad you are preparing, it is best to prepare the ingredients first.

Finely chop the chicken meat, after it has cooled, of course.

Grate the eggs and cheese on a fine grater.

Buy hard cheese, I have “Russian” today.

Cut the pineapples into small cubes.

This type of salad is layered. We'll lay it down.

The first layer is chicken. Lay out the chicken meat and compact the layer. We make a grid of mayonnaise on top.

The second layer is diced pineapples.

The third layer is grated eggs.

Fourth layer - if you are making a salad with onions, then it’s time to add it and lightly grease it with mayonnaise.

The fifth layer is again chicken and again a mayonnaise mesh.

The sixth layer is the remaining pineapples.

The seventh layer is the final layer of grated cheese. We make a cap of cheese and fertilize it with mayonnaise so that the cheese is also soaked.

Well, that's all, the salad is ready! Let it sit for a couple of hours to soak in the juices. In general, I recommend preparing such salads in advance, for example in the evening, so that they are soaked overnight.

If you are preparing for a holiday table, then decorate with herbs.

New Year's salad - chicken with prunes and walnuts

This salad can also be called vitamin salad. And it’s perfect for preparing it in the winter. In winter we don’t have enough vitamins, so we need to somehow make up for this deficiency.

Thanks to its rich composition, prunes help normalize the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, visual organs, and improve immunity. How can you not prepare such a chic and healthy salad!!!

Combine the chopped products in a bowl.

Grate the boiled eggs on a coarse grater and coat with mayonnaise.

Add the amount of mayonnaise at your discretion.

It remains to mix and let stand for 1 hour.

Chicken salad with pineapple and cheese - classic recipe

Chicken salad with overseas pineapple is not the most popular dish in our region, because... This fruit is not familiar to us. However, there is nothing easier than buying canned pineapple. I suggest you prepare this salad and diversify your holiday table.

This salad differs from the first recipe in the presence of corn and the method of its preparation. So you can call them completely different. Don't be confused!!!

Ingredients

• Chicken meat
• Cheese - 100 grams
• Pineapples - 1 can
• Corn - 1 can
• Garlic - 2 cloves
• Mayonnaise

For the salad, use any part of the chicken. I'll use chicken breast for this recipe. It must be boiled until ready and cut into small pieces. It's better to do this when it cools down.

We will mix all the ingredients in a bowl.

Add pineapples to the chicken. If you bought whole rings, then cut them into small cubes. And if they are already cut, then simply drain the liquid from them and place them in a bowl.

Canned corn should also be drained and added to the pineapples and chicken.

We'll also grate cheese and garlic here. You can pass the garlic through a press, but it will be faster using a grater.

All that remains is to add finely chopped herbs and mayonnaise to taste.

It is better to take different greens, for example: parsley, dill, green onions.

All you have to do is stir and the salad is ready.

There is no need to add salt to it, since we boil the chicken in salted water, cheese and mayonnaise also contain salt. It's enough.

Noticed the difference from the first recipe? That one was a layered salad, and we mixed this one.

Place in a beautiful salad bowl and decorate.

• walnuts – 50 gr
• garlic – 1 clove
• mayonnaise - to taste

Pineapples can be used either canned or fresh.

Preparation:

1. Boil the fillet in salted water until tender. Then cool to a temperature at which you can cut it. Cut the fillet into cubes and place in round baking pans as the first layer.

Grease with a small amount of mayonnaise. In general, they will need to lubricate almost all layers. Therefore, I will not repeat this in each of the points.

2. Drain the juice from the jar and let the pineapples dry slightly. Cut them into not very large cubes or pieces. Lay out the second layer.

3. Divide the eggs into whites and yolks and grate them separately on a fine grater. This will make the salad more tender and tasty. Grated whites are sent in the next batch.

4. And next in line we have cheese. It is better to have it in hard varieties. Parmesan is great. But if you don’t find this, then you can get by with the varieties that are more familiar to our tables. It should also be grated on a fine grater. Then sprinkle the resulting top layer with a generous cap.

5. We also have some yolks left. It was their turn. Sprinkle them in an even layer, which we will not lubricate with mayonnaise. See how beautiful it turns out.

6. Chop the walnuts with a knife and sprinkle on the salad at the end of cooking.

Carefully remove the cooking ring and place the salad in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Or you can send it in the form, but then it will be more difficult to get it. In addition, if everyone has such culinary forms, then, as a rule, no more than two. Therefore, you can empty the salad and start preparing a new one. And when it cools a little and “sets”, it can be served to guests.

This is the beauty we have for you. Lovely to watch! And it’s delicious – words can’t describe it. And as you can see, it’s not difficult at all!

Salad "Lady's whim" with smoked breast

Anyone who has ever tried such a delicious salad will try to cook it more and more often. It is very tasty and very tender. And it is so easy to prepare that you will be surprised when you read the recipe.

We will use canned pineapples today. But if you eat fresh fruit, it will be even tastier.

We will need:

• smoked chicken breast – 400 gr
• canned pineapples – 1 can (500 g)
• pitted olives – 1 can (400 g)
• hard cheese – 200 gr
• boiled eggs – 5 pcs
• greens - for garnishing
• mayonnaise - to taste

Preparation:

To prepare this dish, you can use either boiled or semi-smoked breast. Moreover, in the second version, the salad acquires new flavor notes. Not only does the smell change, but also the taste. And the whole secret is that the smoked product is juicier and a little saltier than just boiled one.

1. Cut the breast into cubes approximately 1 cm in size. Subsequently, all ingredients should be cut into cubes of the same size.

2. Cut the cheese in the same way. If you managed to purchase a hard variety, then this will be just great. If not, then you can cut regular Russian cheese. But it is desirable that it be of good quality.

3. Pineapples can be used either fresh or canned. If they are in liquid, then it must be drained. You can use a sieve for this. Then cut them into small pieces. Leave a few whole circles for decoration.

4. Also drain the liquid from the olives and cut them into 4 parts. If desired, you can replace them with olives. Leave a few for decoration.

5. Boil the eggs for no more than 8 minutes and cut into cubes of the appropriate size.

Set aside two yolks and grate them on a fine grater. We will need them for decoration.

If you want the whites to remain bright yellow, cook the eggs for no more than 10 minutes. 8 minutes is better, especially if they are not very large.

6. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix.

There is no need to add salt, as many of them are already salty enough. Season with mayonnaise in not very large quantities. If you add a lot of it, the dish will not hold the desired shape and will spread out on the dish.

7. Place the finished mixture in a salad bowl in the form of a mound. The bottom can be lined with lettuce leaves first. Sprinkle grated egg yolks on top. Decorate to your liking.

You can also place the mixture in a small cooking ring. In this case, your favorite dish can be served in portions.

Or decorate with grapes. If it is seedless, you can put them all out. If there are seeds inside, then in this case the fruit should be cut into two halves and the seeds removed. And decorate the dish with halves.

This is how you can easily and simply prepare a delicious salad that will not leave anyone indifferent. Guests are simply delighted with this dish. And its advantage is that it never remains on the plates.

Today we mainly prepared salads from canned pineapples. But you should know that all these same recipes can be prepared with fresh fruit. But in order for the dish to be tasty in this case, it is important that the fruit be tasty on its own.

It should be quite juicy and sweet. And to have one, you should choose it according to the following criteria:

1. Smell. A special sweet aroma indicates the ripeness of the fruit. If this factor is absent, it is not ripe! In addition, if your sense of smell detects an admixture of vinegar or alcohol, do not buy this product, it is full of chemicals!
2. Appearance. The crust should not be limp or flabby. The stem is elastic and the color is closer to yellow. However, a green top does not always indicate immaturity. In this case, determine the degree of ripeness by the crust.
3. If the above conditions have passed the “casting”, then we move on. Squeeze the product slightly in your hand. It should push slightly, but immediately return to shape.
4. Weight. A juicy pineapple should weigh more than expected at first glance. That is, a small fruit, light in appearance, should be quite heavy.

If you were unable to purchase such a fruit, then it is better to give preference to the one in the jar. It always has a predictable taste, and as a result - the result.

And in conclusion, I would like to say that this selection of salads is unique in its kind. They can not only feed your family as dinner, but also serve them at the most luxurious feast. Experienced gourmets know that combinations of such components have long been famous for their amazing effect!

So that your loved ones don’t get bored at the feast, surprise them time after time!

• During cooking, do not forget to remove the foam.
• After the meat is ready, it must be thoroughly and carefully cleaned of skin, cartilage, and bones. They are extremely undesirable in salads.
