Pineapple salad with cheese and garlic

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a pineapple salad? Prepare your ingredients. Drain all the juice from canned pineapples. Dry the fruits with a paper towel. Take any cheese to suit your taste. I recommend using homemade mayonnaise.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the pineapples into small pieces and squeeze lightly.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grate the cheese on a medium grater, set aside a little for decoration.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a salad bowl of a suitable size, mix together pineapples, cheese and pressed garlic.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add mayonnaise and ground black pepper to the salad.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix everything thoroughly. The mass should be quite dense and not spread, so add mayonnaise gradually. Keep in mind that it may take you either more or less than me.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place a cooking ring (⍉ 12-14 cm) on a plate or dish and place the salad in it.

8. STEP 8

   

   Press well with a spoon or the bottom of a glass. Place the salad ring in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until it sets well.

9. STEP 9

   

   Remove the salad from the refrigerator and carefully remove the ring.

10. STEP 10

    

    Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top of the salad, place pineapple rings on top and garnish with parsley or other herbs. I also garnished with olives. Bon appetit!

An interesting version of cheese salad! I have prepared various salads with cheese, I especially like the combination of cheese and garlic. I made pineapple salad with cheese and garlic for the first time according to your recipe. In general, pineapple is a very unique product that can be combined with almost all ingredients. I chose equal amounts of hard cheese and canned pineapple for the salad. By the way, it is better to choose pineapples in rings, the rough core has already been cut out, but I don’t recommend buying pineapples in pieces, their rough part is poorly cut and not everyone will like it in a salad. I added more garlic, we like it spicy) instead of 1 clove I put 1 head. It's a matter of taste, but I'll be honest, cheese and garlic are great friends! The perfect combination of products will please everyone. I served the salad mixed in a common salad bowl and prepared it for the festive table.

This is one of my favorite salads! By the way, when it sits longer, it becomes even tastier. For the New Year, I make it early in the morning so that it fits the holiday table.

What if you also put boiled chicken in there?

With chicken it will become a little “heavier”)) As for me, I prefer this salad without meat.

Pineapples go wonderfully with hard cheese! I often use a combination of them in salads, but I didn’t add garlic! Thanks, I'll try! I would add pickled mushrooms here to suit my taste!

I also add diced ham to this salad. I just put in quite a bit of ham. It also goes well with canned corn. But then you don’t need to put in the ham. I don’t add garlic; my family doesn’t really like dishes with the addition of raw garlic.
