Very interesting salad that makes great use out of leftovers! In place of the canned tuna/crabmeat I used some leftover chicken and really thought the bananas were an interesting addition. I think next time I'll try snow peas instead (or in addition to) the celery or green pepper and pimentos or red bell pepper would be so pretty in this unusual salad. Thanks for sharing!
