Ingredients

• 1 whole Pomelo
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
• 1 medium Carrot
• 0.5 cup Fresh Mint Leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh Cilantro Leaves
• 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
• 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
• 1 small Garlic Clove
• 0.25 teaspoon Chili Flakes
• 0.25 cup Roasted Unsalted Peanuts
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel the pomelo by cutting off the top and bottom, then slicing down the sides to remove the skin. Carefully separate the segments and remove any thick membranes, leaving just the juicy flesh. Break the flesh into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Wash and dry the cucumber, red bell pepper, and carrot. Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise and then into thin half-moon slices. Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and cut it into thin strips. Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin matchsticks.

Step 3

Chop the fresh mint and cilantro leaves finely after thoroughly washing them.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, rice vinegar, and salt. Mince the garlic clove and add it to the mixture, stirring well to combine. Add the chili flakes to the dressing for a hint of heat.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, combine the prepared pomelo, cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, and chopped herbs.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Roughly chop the roasted unsalted peanuts and sprinkle them on top of the salad for added crunch just before serving.

Step 8

Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish. Enjoy the blend of fresh flavors without any added sugar.
