Recommended as a small appetizer

Chop the eggs, cheese, and pineapple into small cubes. Season with mayonnaise, pineapple juice, salt, pepper, curry powder, and half-and-half milk and cream. Adjust with lemon juice if desired; try using apple instead of pineapple. My quantities are flexible; feel free to use fewer eggs or more cheese, and more or less curry powder, if you like. Add pineapple juice and half-and-half to taste. It shouldn’t be too thick or too runny; creamy is best. Let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for a while.
