One of my favorite Caribbean meatless meals is callaloo and saltfish with green bananas and flour/corn meal dumplings, paired with avocado. This is a very easy dish to make which is also rich in vitamins, iron, and fiber. This dish is typically served as part of a traditional Jamaican breakfast, alongside the infamous Ackee and Saltfish. Within minutes, you can prepare this savory dish for your family and lived ones.
