Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Pomelo
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 large Carrot
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 large Lime
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
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.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad.
Chop the cilantro leaves roughly and add them to the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lime, olive oil, fish sauce, salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature, garnishing with additional cilantro if desired.
