Green Banana Salad

Green banana (or green fig as we call it) is a staple in Dominican cuisine. It's one of the items that is a component in every meal... in soups, broths, with Dominican Stew Chicken, with curry... anyways you get the point. My grandfather has a banana farm so growing up, we ALWAYS had bananas at home..green, ripe and every stage in between. I used to cry almost everyday when I saw green bananas on my plate; I didn't like it at all. Fast forward to becoming an adult and no longer living in Dominica, I sometimes find myself craving it. Luckily I can get a fix every now and again, thanks to Walmart and the Latino supermarkets!
