Ingredients

• 1 large Pomelo
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 large Carrot
• 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling the pomelo and segmenting it. Remove all the pith and membranes to extract the juicy flesh. Break the flesh into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Wash and peel the cucumber. Slice it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds using a spoon. Dice the cucumber into small cubes.

Step 3

Wash the red bell pepper, remove the seeds and stem, then chop it into small strips or cubes.

Step 4

Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin strips using a knife or mandolin. Alternatively, you can grate the carrot if preferred.

Step 5

Chop the fresh mint and cilantro leaves finely.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pomelo pieces, cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, mint, and cilantro.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, chili flakes, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until all the ingredients are well-coated.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice or a touch more honey for balance, according to your preference.

Step 10

Serve the salad immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving for a more refreshing experience.
