Ingredients
- 1 large Pomelo
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Mint leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Roasted peanuts
- 2 medium Lime
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the pomelo. Use a knife to cut away the thick rind and peel off the pith to reach the inner fruit. Carefully separate the segments and remove any seeds and membranes. Break the segments into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
Step 2
Slice the cucumber lengthwise, remove the seeds with a spoon, and then cut into thin slices. Add these to the bowl with the pomelo.
Step 3
Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips and add to the bowl.
Step 4
Chop the mint leaves and cilantro, and add them to the mixture of pomelo and vegetables.
Step 5
Coarsely chop the roasted peanuts and set them aside for garnishing the salad later.
Step 6
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by squeezing the juice of two limes. Add the fish sauce, olive oil, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing over the pomelo salad and gently toss all the ingredients together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 8
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates and garnish with the chopped roasted peanuts.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb refreshing pomelo salad.
