How to Make Caribbean Salad
Step #1: 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. Step #2: 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.
