For a salad, prunes are best to choose dried without a stone. Cucumbers need fresh, not pickled.

I recommend cooking mayonnaise yourself, it will be tastier and healthier. Recipes for its preparation you find it here

You can replace mayonnaise with sour cream, a mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise, natural yogurt without additives.

If you want, dry the walnuts in a dry frying pan and grind them in a blender. Sprinkle them on top of the salad.

The salad can be put in transparent portion cremans in layers or simply by mixing and filling all the ingredients.
