4 Bean Salad with Fried Potato & Banana

The beauty of this dish is that it is simple, wholesome food, prepared simply. Fried banana might not be something you have tried before, but I challenge you to give it a try because it can add a beautiful sweetness to the balance of flavours. The beauty of this salad is that you can add your favourite ingredients to give little bursts of flavour - my new found ingredient crush is garlic stuffed olives.
