Step 1
Start by chopping the banana, red, green, and yellow peppers into small pieces. Toss them into a bowl along with some chopped cilantro and green onion. Squeeze in fresh lime juice and add a bit of brown sugar to balance the flavors. Grate in some ginger and drizzle olive oil over everything. Finely chop the habanero pepper and mix it in—adjust the amount based on how spicy you like it. Give everything a good stir, then season with a pinch of salt to taste. Let it sit for up to an hour before serving so the flavors can really come together.

Storage & leftovers
Store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving again, as the ingredients may settle or release extra liquid over time. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change after thawing.
