Finely slice the red onion and add it to the mixture in the bowl.

Step 5

Chop the mint leaves and parsley finely and add them to the salad bowl.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.

Step 8

Add the pomelo pieces to the salad mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well coated with the dressing.

Step 9

Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve it fresh.
