Step-by-step recipes for chicken and prune salads

During my youth, or rather, even my teenage years, I worked part-time as a waitress in a cafe-restaurant. A frequent visitor to the establishment was a woman, an acquaintance of the owner, who always asked for something that was not on our menu. Given the friendly relationship, the owner never refused her, especially since our chefs always had food for the dishes desired by the client. More often than other dishes, the woman asked to cook her a salad of boiled beets with prunes and chicken breast. I have always wondered what could be so delicious in a combination of these products, but one day curiosity got the better of it, and I decided to conduct an experiment at home. No sooner said than done. The salad was prepared easily and quickly (I bought the beets ready-made, boiled), and disappeared from the plate even faster, as my classmates who lived in the same room with me helped. A few months later, I tried to make a similar salad without beets, but with mushrooms and walnuts. And the result pleased me again. To date, I have in stock more than ten interesting options for salad with chicken and prunes, each of which is good in its own way and I recommend it. I share some recipes below.
