Yin-Yang Salad with Prunes

A delicious, delicate salad with an eye-catching design. In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang represent opposites—man and woman, hard and soft, dark and light. This Yin-Yang salad isn't an Asian dish; it gets its name from the way it's decorated with that ancient symbol. There are several versions of this salad, and I'll show you the most popular one.
