St lucia we love, one of my favorite. Green fig salad. Proud st lucian.

[@NaturalSt.LucianGem]

Yayyyyyyy. You made my day Chris. As a St. Lucian, I loved that you featured a traditional St. Lucian dish.

[@melb.3525]

Curious to know, would this still be tasty if I left out the fish because I'm vegetarian? Thank you for sharing!

[@rosehuggins1213]

[@malikaclarke1897]

Oh yes. Loving it. St. Lucian here. Very happy you featured our island and one of our favorite dishes.

[@nadinem599]

I can't wait to try out this dish. I usually mash the bananas add tuna instead of salt fish and a lot more mayo, as well as the mixed vegetables. A lot of my Lucian friends rave about this dish and I can finally try it for myself. (Dominican)

[@christalvictor1420]

Yes! My favorite dish!

[@theblueoceanwashedawaymypa3774]

This salad is so delicious. Green fig and any type of fish is a delicious combo.

[@abbiemansa3672]

I am from St. Lucia, and looks delicious. We also use mixed veg, btw, for the salad usually which is natural...I would love to see you do more St. Lucian recipes, or Salara.. which I've been looking for recipes to make.

[@melb.3525]

Hi folks! Would this still taste good without the fish since I'm vegetarian? Thanks for sharing!

[@NicNak]

Thanks for that Chris. Lucian and proud! One of my favourite dishes :)

[@11226keena]

[@Artliker1234]

Is this green banana like the sweet fruit, you can eat raw or plaintains(bigger less sweet ones)

[@catherinemark1215]

I enjoy all the recipes. Do you have one for cooking sim? Keep up the good work.

[@margueritecharlemagne1191]

Margaret of sun bilt st Lucia where is the salt fish it must have it

[@GoranMak]

Chris, can you use plantains instead? And cilantro instead of parsley?

[@spanishDoll1]

GoranMak if the plantain is green I think so, likewise the substitution of the spices

[@scisland7354]

No don't

[@ThickThick]

Where’s the mixed veggie? Making this for Christmas dinner tomorrow, INSTEAD of potato salad lol

[@artipersad-singh97]

i love this recipe but can i use something else to replace the mayo

[@theblueoceanwashedawaymypa3774]

Arti Persad-Singh Yes you can make the dish with olive oil. Apparently there are many variations.

[@claireclaire4537]

I did mine with vegan mayo. Taste just the same.

[@sedric3866]

Chris can you make some caribbean cheese straws?

[@bellaalexander9953]

758 all the way

[@karencas7174]

Green bananas, is that the same as actual green bananas at grocery stores or are these a different type of food?

[@deemari577]

yes, fully unripened

[@deemari577]

the green figs we use are the green bananas sold separately from the yellow bananas in the supermarket. the green plaintains are different but could be used the same way.

[@melb.3525]

@@deemari577 thanks for specifying, I was just going to ask! :D

[@zaviergeorge5425]
