Calla salad with chicken and pineapples

A very tasty, tender, hearty and beautiful salad will decorate any celebration. This salad is easy and simple to make. All the ingredients of the salad are very well combined, making it tender, appetizing. The only difficulty that you may or may not encounter (which I wish you!) was discovered by me at the stage of salad decoration. I was personally let down by the processed cheese: it turned out to be too soft and naughty. An attempt to cut out layers from it and roll them up in the form of calla petals was not crowned with due success. Actually, it doesn't matter what kind of cheese the flowers in this salad will be made of. So I replaced the processed cheese with hard cheese and made petals out of it. It is better, of course, in this case to choose processed cheese of suitable quality or hard cheese without holes. And the ideal option is to buy already prepared cheese for toast. If you solve this trifle, the salad, in my opinion, deserves attention and may even become one of your favorites. Anyway, that's how he became in my family. It pleases with the fact that it takes a little time to prepare it, which is especially important if you are expecting a large company to visit.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
Salad products. Canned mushrooms are thrown into a colander and washed very thoroughly under running water, let the water drain. We extract pineapples from the syrup and also put them in a colander so that the syrup stacks. Chicken fillet is boiled or baked. Hard-boiled eggs, cooled, cleaned. We sort out the greens, wash them, drain them. We clean-wash raw vegetables. Carrots are only washed and boiled until soft for 20-30 minutes, checking for readiness with a fork or knife.
Step 2:
Cut the mushrooms as small as possible (you can take any, I have buttermilk). Pour vegetable oil into a hot frying pan. As soon as it heats up, we put the chopped onion there, fry it a little, add canned mushrooms. Fry until the onion darkens (5-7 minutes). Remove the frying pan from the heat.
Step 3:
Chicken fillet cut into cubes of about 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm .
Step 4:
Cut the carrots into thin strips. 3 thin slices of carrots are cut out so that one end is narrower, making them look like pestles. We leave them to decorate the salad. Chop the dill.
Step 5:
Grate hard cheese. Cut the eggs into small cubes.
Step 6:
Put lettuce leaves on a large flat plate or dish, put a layer of already cooled mushrooms and onions on top. This layer can not be smeared with mayonnaise or sour cream, as it is quite juicy in itself.
Step 7:
Then spread a layer of chopped chicken fillet, lubricate evenly with mayonnaise. If the chicken was cooked without salt, you can add a little salt and pepper to this layer.
Step 8:
Next, we spread pineapple slices, mayonnaise or sour cream can be lubricated very slightly or not at all.
Step 9:
Then - grated cheese, mayonnaise.
Step 10:
Now - boiled carrots – mayonnaise.
Step 11:
And the last layer is chopped eggs, you can add a little salt. Carefully apply a layer of mayonnaise over the entire surface of the salad.
Step 12:
Sprinkle the salad with chopped dill on top. We decorate with calla lilies: stems - from green onion feathers, petals - from cheese, pestles - from 3 narrowed slices of carrots left specially for this. Help yourself, the salad is ready!
