Banana Salad Made From Vegetable Salad Recipes and a Gelatin Salad Recipe

This banana salad is a little different than what you might think. Many times when we buy bananas they are still very green. This recipe uses the green bananas. Green Bananas are harder to peel so make a cut lengthwise only through the peel. Then remove the skin in sections. This fruit salad recipe could also be called a vegetable salad or an avocado salad. Try it and see what you think!
