I used dried apricots because that's what I had, raspberry vinegar, ditto. Made the dressing with 2X the vinegar. Chopped fruit, mixed with the dressing (which was quite liquid), let the apricots plump up for 3 or 4 days, covered on the kitchen counter. Then proceeded with the rest of it, without the optional soy sauce. This is a great salad! Fresh apricots would be lovely, but are available for such a short time, and dried are always on hand. I might add pistachios next time.
We have bok-choy and mint growing in the garden. And apricots are in season. So this was the perfect accompaniment to today’s lunch. Took 3 minutes to make and it was tasty!

Marty and Seyffo really liked this and gave it 4 stars. I was inclined toward 3 stars. If I made it again, I would decrease the mint and increase (double?) the dressing.
