Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Bananas
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.75 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the banana slices to prevent them from browning. Gently toss to coat evenly.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and honey until smooth and well combined.
Add the yogurt-honey mixture to the bowl with the bananas. Gently fold the mixture to coat the bananas without breaking them apart.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts and raisins (if using) over the banana mixture. Fold gently to distribute them evenly throughout the salad.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately for the best texture or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
