Smoked chicken salad with pineapple and cheese

If desired, smoked chicken can be replaced with boiled or fried fillet, ham or boiled pork. But in this recipe, smoked meat goes well with pineapple, giving the salad an original savory note. Cut the chicken into cubes, pour it into a salad bowl.

Now it's fruit's turn. Let's open a can of canned food. We take out the pineapple rings from the jar, dry them from the syrup with napkins so that the salad does not turn out to be too wet. Cut fruit into cubes. Try to cut all the ingredients into pieces of approximately the same size, so the dish will turn out tastier.

Add chopped exotic fruits to chopped smoked meat.

Grind hard cheese with a coarse grater. Choose a quality product with a pronounced taste, then the salad will turn out even tastier.

Pour grated cheese to the rest of the salad ingredients.

Grind the walnut kernels to a state of large crumbs. This can be done in several ways: cut the nuts with a knife, grind with a rolling pin, or use a blender for this. Add chopped walnuts to salad.

Let's prepare the dressing. Combine sour cream and mayonnaise in a separate bowl. Add crushed garlic cloves. You can reduce the amount of garlic if you wish, or even do without it. Stir the dressing to combine the ingredients.

Season the salad with garlic sauce, salt to taste and mix everything until smooth.

You can serve the salad immediately after preparation or cool it for half an hour before serving on the shelf of the refrigerator. It is better to prepare this salad just before the arrival of guests; you should not store it in the refrigerator for a long time, especially if you use homemade mayonnaise.
Enjoy your meal!
