Smashed Plantain Salad (Plant-Based, Fresh & Filling!)

2. Build Your Salad Base

• In a large bowl or plate, add your mixed greens.
• Layer with cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and avocado.
• Sprinkle with chopped herbs for brightness.

3. Whisk the Dressing

In a small bowl, mix:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp lime or lemon juice
• Optional: ½ tsp Dijon mustard or chili flakes
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Stir well until emulsified.

4. Assemble & Toss

• Gently add the smashed plantains on top of the salad.
• Pour the dressing over everything.
• Add any optional toppings like chickpeas or toasted seeds.

You can either toss everything together or plate it beautifully and let the plantains shine on top. 5. Serve & Enjoy! Enjoy your Smashed Plantain Salad immediately while the plantains are warm for that delicious contrast of textures. Or meal prep the ingredients separately and assemble fresh during the week! SheSprouts Notes & Tips:

• Make it a Meal: Add grilled tofu or tempeh on the side for an extra plant-based protein boost.
• Storage Tip: Store each component separately for freshness. Toss before serving.
• Spice It Up: Want it Caribbean-inspired? Add a dash of jerk seasoning to your plantains before searing.
