  3. Drain the liquid from the canned pineapples and pat them dry. If the pineapples are in rings, cut them into small pieces. It's advisable to gently squeeze the pineapples to prevent excess moisture in the salad.

  9. Layer all the ingredients in a salad bowl, or use a cooking ring (Ø 16-18 cm) for a visually appealing presentation. Start with the pineapples as the first layer and drizzle mayonnaise over them. Using a pastry bag with a cut tip is more convenient than a spoon.

  10. Place the smoked chicken in the next layer and pour mayonnaise on top. Ensure each layer is well-packed to prevent the salad from falling apart when removing the cooking ring. Optionally, sprinkle some layers with salt and pepper, although spices are usually not added to mayonnaise-based salads.

Recipe Notes

It's preferable to prepare your own mayonnaise for a tastier and healthier option. Additionally, consider using sour cream or natural yogurt as dressings instead of or in combination with mayonnaise. Adjust the proportions according to your taste preferences to reduce the dish's calorie content.

When purchasing canned corn, pay attention to the expiration date on the jar. If the container is glass, carefully inspect the grains. They should be uniform in size and color, firm, and free of blemishes. Ensure the composition does not include dyes, preservatives, or flavor enhancers.

Given that individual preferences vary in terms of saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness, acidity, and heat, always incorporate spices and seasonings based on your taste. If you're trying certain seasonings for the first time, be cautious, as there are spices, like chili pepper, that are particularly crucial not to overuse.
