Note
For best texture, add a splash of milk or extra yogurt if the banana mixture is too thick to spoon easily.
This salad is best served fresh. The banana mixture may brown slightly if prepared too far in advance.
You can substitute the tangerines with mandarin oranges or clementines for a similar flavor profile.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt or silken tofu blended with the banana.
