4. Pass three boiled chicken eggs through a vegetable grater.
5. Grate the cheese on a fine grater.
6. Use the same grater to chop 70 grams of walnuts.
7. Mix the chopped chicken meat with 2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise.

9. The next layer is the chopped pineapples.
10. On top of the pineapples, add the grated chicken eggs and spread mayonnaise over them.
11. Next is a layer of grated cheese, which we also spread with mayonnaise.
12. The final layer is grated walnuts. Now, the salad with chicken and pineapples should be left in the refrigerator for a few hours to soak better.
Before serving, remove the molding ring and decorate the salad to your liking.
