My mom used to make this all the time when I was little. It is one of those recipes where there really isn't a recipe - she just did it. After a lengthy talk with my little sister this past week, I decided I had better try to remake these and write them down so we don't forget this wonderful little tidbits.

Time 7m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 bananas, peeled and speared
lettuce leaf (of your choice)
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
2 tablespoons milk
salt & pepper, to taste
Spanish peanut, chopped (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In small mixing bowl mix together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, milk. Mix well to dissolve sugar completely. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange lettuce leaves (mom always used the larger iceberg type, but any will do) on salad plates.
  • Peel and spear the bananas. (To spear, cut banana in half, carefully insert your finger into the center of the cut, the banana will separate into 3 sections we called spears.).
  • Arrange spears on top of lettuce leaves.
  • Drizzle generously with dressing over bananas and lettuce.
  • Garnish with chopped spanish peanuts (if desired).
  • Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve.
  • *Bananas may darken if prepared too early. Best if made and immediately served.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It was still delicious!

This salad is a great way to use up ripe bananas. I usually have a few bananas that are about to go bad, so this recipe is perfect.

I've never had banana salad before, but I'm definitely a fan now! It's so refreshing and light, and the dressing is perfectly tangy.
