Girlfriends, today is your day, because on this page you will find excellent recipes for the Ladies’ Whim salad that meet the most sophisticated needs of any woman. A light and unusual-tasting dish is prepared from ordinary products, but the original combination of ingredients and strikingly beautiful presentation will put the treat among the most favorite. The sophistication of the salad lies in the selection of rare ingredients in the dish - prunes, pineapples.
In addition, the ladies' dish is low-calorie, which suits everyone's liking, since apart from mayonnaise, the other ingredients meet all the rules of proper nutrition. There are many versions of the salad, as my friend said, they are inexhaustible, like the whims of a true woman.
There is no classic recipe for the treat; two options claim this right - with pineapples and prunes, which have equal success among the ladies. The basis of the dish is chicken, but sometimes there is a substitute for it that is equivalent in taste: tongue and ham, which somewhat changes the impression, but, in fairness, for the better.
If you want to use the most delicious meat in a whim, add your favorite spices to the water when boiling. Pepper, bay leaf, parsley and other herbs are appropriate. And, importantly, the cooked chicken should cool right in the broth.

- Next, add mushrooms + mayonnaise, and eggs, also coated with sauce.
- Cheese completes the salad assembly. Decorate the top with prunes.
Preparing the salad
You should start preparing the pineapple salad by preparing the chicken. Place the fillet in boiling salted water and cook until tender. When the chicken meat becomes soft, remove the pan from the heat and cool it at room temperature without removing it from the broth. This step will help keep the chicken juicy. Chilled fillets should be cut into small cubes or slices.
Boil the eggs hard (10 minutes after boiling), cool with cold water, peel and chop with a knife or fork.
Remove the pineapples from the jar and cut them in the same way as the chicken.
Grate the cheese (preferably on a coarse grater) and place all the ingredients in a deep bowl.
At the end, add mayonnaise, chopped garlic and salt, mix everything thoroughly and put it in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Before serving, the finished salad “Lady's whim” with chicken and pineapple can be transferred to a salad bowl or laid out in separate portions. Parsley sprigs, pine or walnuts, and pineapple slices are suitable as decoration.
You can change the salad recipe slightly and omit the eggs; this dish will turn out light, with a fresh “tropical” taste. By the way, fresh pineapple can easily replace canned one; the dish will only benefit from this, becoming tastier and healthier.

How to cook a lady's whim with pineapples:
- Boil the chicken with water and spices, let it cool in the broth, dry it a little and cut into fillets. Then cut into arbitrary pieces, preferably elongated ones.
- At the same time, soak the dried fruits by pouring boiling water over them. After 10 minutes, remove, dry and cut into cubes.
- Boil the eggs, cut into cubes, grate the cheese. Alternatively: cut the cheese into thin strips.
- Drain the liquid from the jar of pineapple and cut into pieces.
- The last step is to combine the prepared components in layers in any order, coating each with mayonnaise sauce. Or just stir the contents. Don't forget to add salt. Any nuts, pomegranate seeds, olives and herbs are suitable for decoration.
Classic simple recipe with mayonnaise
Like any other dish, pineapple salad has several cooking variations, and one of them is a classic recipe. Seasoning this dish with sauce was invented in Russia. Who and when exactly did this is unknown, but we can sincerely thank you for such an introduction.
Mayonnaise gives the salad a more delicate taste, pairing perfectly with the tart and meaty fruit. However, you should still take into account the proportions - too much Provencal can negate all your efforts in preparing an appetizing dish.
Ingredients:
- chicken fillet - 3 pcs.;
- eggs - 4 pcs.;
- pineapple - 6 slices;
- cheese (hard varieties) - 150-200 g;
- mayonnaise - 2 tbsp. spoons.
From a given amount of products, a salad is made, designed for two servings.
Let's start cooking:
- Cook the chicken in salted water until done. Cool it and cut it into small cubes.
Fillet looks very interesting in a salad if it is manually separated into fibers.
- Place the pineapple in a colander and let the main liquid drain, using light pressure to “drive out” the remaining liquid. Grind the rings into thin slices.
- We take flat dishes, grease the middle with mayonnaise and begin to distribute the ingredients. 1st layer - chicken, 2nd - finely grated eggs, 3rd - pineapples, 4th - cobweb-crushed cheese. Coat all layers except the top with a mesh of sauce.
You can decorate the salad with several pineapple slices or herbs. During assembly, it takes on a fluffy shape, so you will get two plates of very tender and appetizing food. If you don't want to bother with separation, you can do one serve.

For variety, the “Lady's whim” salad can be improved, for example, with prunes. This option is suitable for those who love this ingredient and its interesting combination with chicken.

7. The next layer is chicken. We lay it out and grease it with mayonnaise again.

9. All that remains is to sprinkle the finished salad with nuts on top.
You can feel the real exquisite taste of the dish if you leave it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. During this time, it will have time to soak and can be served to the table.
And finally, I’ll give you one good piece of advice - buy prunes with pits, and it’s okay that you’ll need to spend a little time extracting them.
