bananas; simmer about 2 minutes per side. Drain and cool (with cold tap
water on gentle spray). Spray with a little fresh lemon juice and set aside
to air-dray. While drying, chop and slice. Assemble the salad. Add up to
1/2 cup of thinned dressing. Cut bananas into 1/2-inch slices and
incorporate into salad. Then add the finely shredded carrot and toss. Chill
for 1 to 3 hrs and serve with seeds or wheat-germ and/or a whole wheat

happens fast. *PANTRY: Plaintains may be used. We use a (nearly) fat-free

Brianna. *LINK: Fat-Free Italian Salad dressing. *VARIATION: Asian soy

orange juice. * Heat it up with a drop of hot sauce or a little minced
