Zesty Thai Pomelo Salad featuring coconut, peanuts, mint, and tangy chile dressing.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 pomelo
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped salted peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons fried shallots
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 tablespoon chopped palm sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 Thai bird's eye chile, chopped
Instructions:
  • Toast shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and aromatic, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Trim the top and bottom of the pomelo by 1/2 inch each. Score the rind vertically around the fruit by 1/2 inch deep, then remove the slices. Peel off any thick membrane pieces, open the fruit, and separate into segments. Lastly, peel off the membrane from each slice.
  • Arrange slices of pomelo in an elegant shallow bowl and generously sprinkle with a blend of toasted coconut, peanuts, shallots, and fresh mint leaves for a burst of flavors and textures.
  • In a jar, mix hot water and palm sugar until dissolved. Whisk in lime juice, fish sauce, and chile pepper. Drizzle dressing over salad.
