How to Make Banana Salad

  1. Peel and slice 3 ripe bananas into half-inch thick rounds.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine the sliced bananas with 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt.
  3. Add 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference).
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
  5. If desired, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice (about 1 tablespoon) for a zesty twist.
  6. Gently fold in 1/4 cup of granola for extra texture and flavor.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
  8. Before serving, garnish with a few extra walnut halves or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
