Plantain Salad Imoyo

Assalamualaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh. I will be sharing a healthy recipe today; nice but reasonably healthy. If you're into the whole fitfam thing then I guess you can add it to your list of low calorific meal. I don't really count calories but it is probably less than 10% of your total allowance for the day and considering it can be eaten on its own, its a win-win situation.

I loooove plantains in all forms of it. Ripe, unripe, dough, boiled, fried and as my all time favourite plantain chips - which I always have a stash of thanks to amazing family and friends, alhamdulillah.
I came across this recipe as I was looking for an alternative to making plantain and I've since added my own twist to it. Here's a version I love.

What you will need

1 ripe plantain
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper,
1 small bell pepper (green, red or yellow) - chopped
1 small green chilli (optional) - chopped
1 small cucumber - diced
3 medium sized salad tomatoes - diced
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar (optional)

Preparation

Cut the plantain in 3 - 5 pieces unpeeled
Cover with water and boil for 5 minutes
Remove and rinse under cold water
Once cool, peel the plantain and cut into cubes
Mix with the other diced ingredients and black pepper
Drizzle with lemon juice, olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Why not add some tuna for sweet tuna salad and alternative to tuna with sweet corn.

Enjoy
