Ladies’ salad with pineapple
A much-loved chicken and pineapple salad that combines sweet fruit, savory meat and a little heat. The chicken makes it filling, while the garlic adds a piquant finish.
Cut the smoked chicken meat into small cubes (can be strips).
Cut the pineapples (drain the liquid) into cubes.
Grate the cheese finely or coarsely, as you prefer. I use the coarse side of the grater.
Pass the garlic through a garlic squeezer or finely chop it with a knife. Mix mayonnaise with garlic.
Place chicken, pineapples and cheese in a bowl. Season the salad with mayonnaise mixed with garlic. To taste, add a little salt and freshly ground pepper.
Refrigerate the salad for 1-2 hours to chill and let the flavors develop. Transfer to a serving bowl or individual plates. You can sprinkle it with dry-toasted pine nuts and garnish with herbs and a slice of canned pineapple.
