Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 ripe sliced plantains peeled and diced
- 1 1/2 cups cooked red beans 1 14-ounce can
- 1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapeño
- 1 avocado peeled and cut into large chunks
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
For the Dressing
- Juice of one lime
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Set a 10-inch or larger cast iron skillet on a burner set to medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the coconut oil and allow it to coat the pan. Add the diced plantains and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown; about 5 minutes total. Set aside to cool.
- Place the beans, tomato, red onion, and jalapeno in a large bowl. Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl, then add the dressing to the large bowl along with the fried plantains. Toss well to coat.
- Right before serving, gently fold the avocado and cilantro into the plantain mixture. Serve at once.

Notes
- If you are sensitive to spicy flavors, take care to remove all of the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno before using.
- This recipe makes a salad of about 4-5 cups.
- To store Caribbean Salad with Plantains and Avocados, refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Due to the presence of avocados, it's best enjoyed fresh to retain their creamy texture.
