Notes
Keep Bananas Fresh: Toss the banana slices in a bit of lemon juice before adding them to prevent browning.
Customize It: Add crushed cookies, coconut flakes, or other favorite toppings to make it your own.
Make It Ahead: Prepare the salad a few hours in advance, but wait to add the bananas and toppings until just before serving for the best texture.
