Ingredients

4 whole bananas
0.5 cup roasted peanuts
0.25 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the slices into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, honey, and lemon juice. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step 3

Pour the dressing over the banana slices, making sure to coat them evenly. Gently toss with a rubber spatula to avoid mashing the bananas.

Step 4

Add the roasted peanuts to the bowl and gently fold them into the salad, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 5

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and color.

Step 6

Serve immediately as a light snack, side dish, or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
