- 10 grams Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
Begin by preparing the pomelo. Carefully peel the pomelo, removing all the pith, and segment the fruit. Cut the segments into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Rinse the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Add it to a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the cucumber.
Finely slice the red onion and add it to the mixture in the bowl.
Chop the mint leaves and parsley finely and add them to the salad bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
Add the pomelo pieces to the salad mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well coated with the dressing.
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve it fresh.
