How to make Layered salad with chicken and pineapple? Prepare your food. Wash vegetables and herbs and dry. Boil the potatoes in a convenient way in their skins. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes from the start of boiling and immediately cool with cold water, this will clean them well and there will be no gray rim around the yolk.

Step 2

Step 2
Place the pineapples in a colander, let the syrup drain well, then cut into medium segments. In jars with ready-made pieces, there are pieces with the core left; such hard places must be carefully removed so as not to deprive the salad of the necessary tenderness.

Since the salad will be prepared in layers, it is convenient to grate and cut the necessary products in advance, placing them in separate bowls. Remove the skin and bones from the leg and cut the meat into small cubes. Also finely chop the bell pepper, cucumber, Chinese cabbage and greens. Grate the egg and cheese on a coarse grater; it is permissible to mix them in one bowl, because they will be laid out in one layer. Separately, grate the potatoes coarsely.

If the nuts were purchased shelled, be sure to rinse and dry them in advance. Or lightly dry it in a dry frying pan, it’s a matter of taste. Then cut it with a knife, but not very finely. You can take a different nut depending on your taste or availability, but it is advisable to add it to the salad; it will enrich the taste with a pleasant tartness. Will also serve as decoration.

If replaced, pineapples will take its place.
