Salad with chicken, pineapples and walnuts - the basic technological principles
The easiest dish that can be prepared even in 5 minutes, from the products available is salad. If there is also mayonnaise, and this sauce, despite numerous warnings from nutritionists and experts in the field of healthy lifestyles and nutrition, still, after almost three centuries, occupies the most prominent place on the shelf of the refrigerator, then come up with a new recipe, say, salad with chicken, pineapple and nuts is no difficulty. From the well-known categories of salads, however, it is better to exclude warm salads for the declared ingredients by the cooking method: nuts combined with heated juicy pineapple flesh look strange and not very appetizing.
- Chicken meat in a salad can be boiled or smoked, or both. Salad with nuts and chicken will look very Asian, if the pieces of meat before laying in the dish pre-fry. In this case, sharp dressing, salted or pickled ingredients are very appropriate, and pineapple can be used as a savory addition.
- Pineapple has a special substance that can break down animal protein so quickly that the process of digesting meat in the body is reduced significantly, in the presence of the juice of this fruit. Actually, bromelain starts working in a salad bowl, so its splitting properties must be taken into account: never store salads with pineapple for more than two hours and add pineapple slices to meat salads literally 5 minutes before serving. For the same reason, such dishes are prepared in small quantities, so that about any blanks "for later" there can be no question.

If all the components of the dish are cut into small neat cubes, then the kernels of nuts should look accordingly.
