Ingredients

• 1 large pomelo
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup mint leaves
• 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 small, finely chopped red chili
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling the pomelo. Cut the top and bottom ends of the pomelo, then make vertical incisions around its body. Peel away the thick skin and separate the segments, carefully removing the membrane to reveal the juicy flesh. Gently tear or cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Wash and prepare the vegetables. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, julienne the carrot into matchstick slices, and thinly slice the red bell pepper. Add all the sliced vegetables to the bowl with the pomelo.

Step 3

Roughly chop the mint and cilantro leaves. Add them to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, fish sauce, sesame oil, finely chopped red chili, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the pomelo and vegetable mixture. Toss everything gently to coat the ingredients evenly with the dressing.

Step 6

Allow the salad to marinate for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
