Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot filled with 6 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
While the potatoes are boiling, peel the green bananas using a knife (as their skin is tougher than ripe bananas). Cut them into 1-inch chunks.
Add the green banana chunks to the boiling pot with the potatoes. Cook both for 15 minutes or until fork-tender, but not mushy.
Drain the cooked potatoes and bananas and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and let cool for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Once the potatoes and bananas have cooled, add the chopped red onion, celery, and parsley to the mixing bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until everything is thoroughly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley, if desired. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
