Plantain Salad Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Boiled plantains are very common in nigerian cuisine, eaten at all stages of ripening from green, and starchy to ripe and sweet. This recipe uses ripe, but firm plantains which hold their shape, giving a nice contrast with the fresh vegetables. Boiling the plantains in their skin deepens the flavor and may preserve some nutrients.
