Steps:
- In a serving bowl, mix cubed cheese, onion rings, diced salami, diced tomato & sliced gherkins.
- In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, Tabasco, pepper, olive oil & diced pineapple chunks. (I use a glass jar w/a tight lid & just shake to combine).
- Just b4 serving, toss salad in dressing & serve garnished w/chopped chives as desired.
- NOTE: To make ahead & avoid a mushy cheese effect, follow same prep except DO NOT include diced cheese in the mix of Step 1. Store the cheese ready to use in a sandwich bag or refrigerator container & combine w/salad ingredients at the same time the dressing is added just before serving.

Tips:
- Use hard-boiled eggs that are fresh: For the best flavor and texture, use eggs that are no more than a week old.
- Cook the eggs properly: To ensure that the eggs are cooked through but not overcooked, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat and cover it. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of ingredients: To add flavor and texture to your egg salad, consider adding chopped celery, onion, pickles, hard-boiled eggs, or crumbled bacon.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste your egg salad before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add salt, pepper, mustard, or mayonnaise to taste.
- Chill the egg salad before serving: This will help to firm up the salad and make it more flavorful.
