Author Notes: For a breakfast salad especially with all the holiday temptations I decided to concoct something simple, healthy and satisfying. And I wanted to limit this to 5 ingredients.

Serves: 2
Ingredients
-
1
large ripe banana
-
1
largish Asian ripe pear
-
juice from 1/2 fresh lime
-
1/2
teaspoon Saigon cinnamon
-
2
ounces toasted Pepitas (or you can substitute roasted pistachios)
Directions
- Rinse your fruit. Peel the banana and slice into quarter inch rounds. Peel the pear and dice into 3/4 inch pieces. Squeeze the lime over the cut fruit and let that sit for about 10 minutes. Add the cinnamon after 5 minutes and toss gently.
- Toast raw Pepitas in the oven for a few minutes. Top the salad with the toasted Pepitas. That is the core salad. If you want to garnish with fresh herbs and finish with a sprinkle of flax seed, let your diet inspire your variations.
