Chicken salad with prunes and mushrooms

Description

The recipe won't take much time. I've always been a bit skeptical about layered salads because I didn't understand why to carefully and neatly assemble a salad when you could just mix all the ingredients in one bowl. However, making and arranging this salad nicely is the easiest thing in the world. Serve it at the table.
