Yin Yang Prune Salad

Delicious and tender salad with original decoration. In Chinese philosophy, Yin and Yang are used to express opposites, such as man and woman, hard and soft, dark and light. Yin Yang salad does not belong to the cuisine of Asian peoples; the salad received this name because of its design in the form of ancient symbolism. There are different options for preparing this salad; I suggest preparing the most common one.
