Of course, we will talk about Tatyana salad - with smoked chicken or filet, with egg and cheese, flavored with Provencal or sour cream sauce. And the composition of the dish includes an exquisite pineapple. In general, the range of products impresses the imagination. Well, let's try to cook? Then let's get started soon!

Tatyana salad recipe: ingredients

What do we need to prepare this delicious meal? Let's take a pound of smoked chicken, 3 eggs, 200 grams of hard cheese (it is not necessary to buy the most expensive one - just the usual "Russian" or "Dutch"). And also a jar of canned pineapple (in its own juice or in light syrup: slices orrings, it doesn't matter). Well, Provencal mayonnaise for Tatyana salad dressing.

How to cook

1. Let's start by preparing all the ingredients properly. We separate the smoked chicken from the bones (the skin must also be removed if it is too tough - so that only tender meat remains with the aroma of coals from the fire). We will cut it into small pieces.
2. Grate the cheese coarsely.



3. Boil hard-boiled eggs (up to 10 minutes), cool in ice water and peel. Then cut with a knife into pieces of medium size.
4. Open a jar of canned pineapples and drain the syrup (juice). We take out the fruits and throw them into a colander - let them drain well, since we don’t need excess liquid.



5. Then cut the rings into small cubes. Well, that's it, all the ingredients are prepared for mixing Tatiana salad.

1 option

But the fact is that further the recipe offers several options. The first of them is the mixing of all components into a homogeneous mass. So, to prepare Tatyana salad, we take a large container and pour all the processed components into it: smoked chicken, cheese with eggs, pineapple. Mix thoroughly and gently, seasoning with mayonnaise in moderation so that we do not get a mushy consistency.

Further, the appetizer can be transferred to the "front" salad bowl and garnished with grated yolk and herbs. You can also use small pieces of pineapple. In general, show and consolidate your culinaryfantasy.

And you can put the mixed Tatiana salad with smoked chicken and pineapple in small bowls in portions and serve separately: for each of the guests. This version of the mixture is also good for filling tartlets for any celebration. This kind of snack, packed in small baskets, is swept off the table in an instant - especially at a buffet or corporate party.

2nd cooking option

He assumes that Tatyana salad is laid out in layers in a voluminous bowl. So, lightly grease the bottom of the container for preparing snacks with mayonnaise. Then the very first layer is smoked chicken, separated from the bones and skin, cut into small enough pieces.

Top again with mayonnaise and lay a layer of eggs. Again a grid of mayonnaise, and a layer of grated cheese. Place a layer of pineapple cubes on top. We repeat the entire unfolding procedure again. On top of the resulting puff salad, you can decorate with a grated egg or cheese - at the request of the home cook. And put it on the table. Yummy indescribable!

Tip

The best option would be to use smoked breast in the recipe. However, some housewives do not like it too much - because of its dryness. But in this dish, you should not be afraid of this. After all, the rest of the ingredients - juicy pineapples, rich mayonnaise - perfectly complement the taste and give softness to smoked meat. Unless, if you use a breast, then you need to introduce a little more Provencal mayonnaise into the dish. And, of course, let the salad brew properly and soak at the bottom of the refrigerator(2-3 hours is usually enough). And then serve to the festive table.
