Provided by Ming Tsai

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cooked lobster, sliced in medallions
2 ounces frisee
1 section pomelo, cut crosswise
3 stalks white asparagus, blanched
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons Chinese red vinegar

  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you easily cut through the pomelo's thick skin and avoid tearing the flesh.
  • Remove the pith: The pith is the white, bitter part of the pomelo. Use a spoon or your fingers to carefully remove it from each segment.
  • Segment the pomelo: Cut along the natural lines of the pomelo to separate it into segments. This will make it easier to eat and add to salads.
  • Add complementary flavors: Pomelo pairs well with a variety of flavors, such as citrus, mint, chili, and ginger. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite salad dressing.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salad the best flavor. If possible, use organic fruits and vegetables.
  • Make it a meal: Add protein, such as grilled chicken or shrimp, to your salad to make it a complete meal.
