Alessandra,

When the plantain is ripe it has a very similar taste to that of a banana. The recipe calls for Agave nectar to add a bit of sweetness to the salad. The lime juice prevents the avocado and the plantain from turning dark in color and also help absorb the Vitamin C from the Red Bell Pepper, in addition to adding a tangy taste to the fruit salad.
Peace :)
Chandra, what does jerk seasoning taste like? Tangy? spicy? Never had it..always figured its something you use on meats...

IMHO Jerk Seasoning tastes more tangy than spicy in this recipe. However, I have seen it add a bit of heat to Pan Fried Plantains.
Peace :)
