Estimated reading time: 4 minutes Pomelo tastes delicious in salads with fresh herbs, crunchy vegetables, and a zesty dressing. It looks very similar to grapefruit, but both taste and texture differ. This pomelo salad recipe is inspired by the popular Thai dish Yam Som-O – a sweet, spicy, and savoury salad that showcases the unique flavour of pomelo.
How To Make Pomelo Salad
Prep Pomelo
Peel the outer thick layer of pomelo (see how to peel pomelo fruit in the recipe) leaving just the skin.
Gently discard the skin and the white seeds. Collect only the pink pulp in a bowl.
Prepare Dressing
Add garlic, chilli, coriander stalks, mint, sugar, and salt to a stone mortar. Crush with a pestle and make a coarse paste using a tablespoon of water.
Add lime juice. Stir to combine. Salad Dressing is ready!
Assemble Salad
Add pomelo pulp, crushed peanuts, and chopped fresh herbs in a mixing bowl.
Add green dressing and mix gently using your hands or a spoon. Pomelo Salad is ready to serve!
