• peel the banana and slice it;
• wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stem, and slice or cut them into pieces.
Pour the fruit into the salad bowl.Dress with a few drops of orange or lemon juice: remember that juices, even if natural, lack fiber.

I ground some mixed peppercorns.
Enrich with nuts or a tablespoon of low-fat yogurt.
