Notes

These make for great leftovers! The plantains won’t be as crispy, but IMO they’re still good heated up a day or two later. 🙂

The slaw is the one element that should not be tossed together until you’re ready to serve. If making ahead, just save everything separately in the fridge and toss the slaw together just before serving.

To make this vegan, sub the Greek yogurt in the sauce with a vegan alternative or just use a little more oil to make it more like a dressing.
