Directions

Step 1

Peel the pomelo and carefully remove the membrane from each segment. Break the segments into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, and use a spoon to remove the seeds. Then, slice the cucumber into thin half-moons and add them to the bowl with the pomelo.

Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and add it to the bowl.

Peel and grate the carrot using a box grater. Add the grated carrot to the mixture.

Step 5

Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad.

Step 6

Chop the cilantro leaves roughly and add them to the salad mixture.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lime, olive oil, fish sauce, salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 9

Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Step 10

Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature, garnishing with additional cilantro if desired.
