Prune salad
Description
A simple dish to prepare. There are quite a few conflicting explanations regarding its name. Some believe the name comes from the three layers of the salad, while others insist it's due to the list of ingredients and the unusual combination of products that gave the salad its fame. Each layer has a secret additional ingredient, which also adds to its intrigue. But whatever the case, this salad is delicious. Serve it chilled.
