Directions:
- Peel the plantains by cutting through the peel lengthwise and sliding your fingers under the skin to pull it off.
- Place the whole plantains in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil and simmer for about ten minutes or until plantains are soft enough to pierce with a fork (If you use ripe ones which have gone yellow and are developing black spots, 10 minutes will be fine-the green ones will take longer and won't taste as good).
- Drain the plantains and set aside to cool.
- While the plantains are cooking, peel and seed the green pepper and slice it into long thin slices.
- Seed and chop the red pepper.
- Peel, seed and dice the cucumber and place in a bowl with the peppers.
- Whisk the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper, and garlic (if you are using it-I like it) together until creamy; this will take a couple of minutes.
- Slice the cooled plantains on the diagonal into 1/2 pieces and add to the vegetables in the bowl.
- Pour the marinade over and mix well.
- Serve at room temperature.
- Note: This salad is best if made an hour or so in advance so the flavors can 'marry' - I find it needs more salt and pepper at the table-a matter of taste.
