Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Plantains

    Peel the sweet plantains and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides. Remove them from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the romaine and green lettuce. Add the diced tomato, avocado, sliced radish, diced cucumber, and finely chopped red onion. Toss gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Add Chickpeas and Cheese

    Add the drained chickpeas and crumbled farm cheese to the bowl with the vegetables. Mix gently to incorporate.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Dressing

    For the cilantro dressing, blend fresh cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Drizzle the cilantro dressing over the salad mixture and toss to coat. Top with the fried plantain slices and plantain chips just before serving.
