If you're under the impression that such an exceptional salad would require you to break the bank or spend excessive time in preparation, think again. This salad practically prepares itself; the most time-consuming part is boiling the chicken. It doesn't get much simpler than that. We can't recommend this recipe highly enough. It's already been a proven success for us, and now we're eager to share it with you. It's well worth a try!
Chicken, Pineapple, and Nut Salad
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise,
- 14 oz chicken breast,
- 1 tablespoon of chicken spice,
- 2 eggs,
- 1/2 can of pineapple,
- A few tablespoons of canned corn,
- A handful of walnuts,
- 3.5 oz cubed yellow cheese,
- Pepper, salt,
- Dill or parsley for garnish.
Preparation:
- Clean the chicken breast, cut it into cubes and cook. Drain the pineapple from the syrup and cut it into smaller pieces. Grate the yellow cheese and hard-boil eggs. Chop the walnuts and cut the dill or parsley. Drain the corn. Now, all that's left is assembling the salad.
- The salad can be presented in two ways. Either mix all the ingredients together or layer them. For a party, the layered style is preferable. Here's the method:
- Firstly, arrange the cooked and spiced chicken in a salad bowl. Top it with mayonnaise and then a layer of pineapple. Next comes the grated cheese, corn, and another spread of mayonnaise. For ease, consider putting the sauce into a pastry bag as this will prevent disturbing the layers beneath.
- On top, layer the grated eggs and nuts. Garnish with dill or parsley. Enjoy your meal!
