Chicken salad with pineapple
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. I really love original and unusual salads, recipes with pineapple, onion, eggs, mayonnaise, nuts, chicken, and other seemingly incompatible ingredients that come together to create a dish with perfectly balanced, harmonious flavor. Chicken salad with pineapple is exactly one of those. Although there are many different salads with pineapple—pineapple salad recipes are quite popular and varied—the classic version of a salad with this wonderful fruit is the one I've described in this recipe. Good luck with your cooking! Garnish as desired and serve.
