What can you make with Romaine lettuce, pecans, dried cranberries, sliced banana?

My very own banana salad. It makes a fine light dinner when you are eating alone, like I did last night.

I like it drizzled with this salad dressing:
3/4 cup oil
3/8 cup vinegar (I like rice wine vingegar, but any will do)
2 tsp. soy sauce
1/3 cup sugar (I use slightly less)

Put everything in a jar with a screw top lid and shake vigorously until well mixed.

  3. Zoey you have the most yummy and interesting recipes. Like pea I would never have thought to use a banana in a salad, in fact I am a cookbook junkie and I don't think I've ever seen banana used this way. I will give it a try one day. The vinagerette would be a nice compliment to the sweetness of the banana. Love cranberries and pecans. It's like a healthy banana split without the ice cream. TWT

  4. That is an interesting salad! Don't you get hungry just eating salad without protein? I can only eat salads for din din if they have shrimp or grilled chicken(etc) in them.
    Bananas-no. I can't even imagine the texture with leaf lettuce. You'll have to submit the recipe some place. : )

  6. Pat,
    Thank you! I am so thrilled that you liked it.
    It's all my own recipe. Even the salad dressing, which is my favorite dressing for any lettuce salad that has fruit in it.

    Dianne, If I get hungry, I just snack all night long. :)

    Sue and Pea, I hope if you try it, you let me know what you think.
