POMELO SALAD WITH PEANUTS, MINT, AND CHILE

Pomelo Salad with Peanuts, Mint, and Chile image

It may take some effort to peel pomelo, but I love the mildly sweet flesh. It's so much better than grapefruit, in my opinion! I was inspired to try it in a Thai-style salad that was a little sweet and a little sour with hints of spice and funk. Enjoy!

You can replace pomelo with grapefruit, but since grapefruit are juicier, drain them before adding to the salad. Another recipe for the world tour. Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet.

POMELO SALAD WITH CHILE, LIME, PEANUTS & COCONUT RECIPE

Pomelo Salad with Chile, Lime, Peanuts & Coconut Recipe image

Provided by LeeV

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 tablespoons palm sugar or light brown sugar
2 red or green Thai chiles, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons fish sauce
Kosher salt
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced, divided
1/4 cup peanuts, preferably skin-on
2 pomelos or 3 ruby red grapefruit
3/4 cup torn cilantro leaves with tender stems
2 tablespoons dried shrimp

Steps:

Whisk palm sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl to dissolve sugar. Whisk in chiles, garlic, lime juice, and fish sauce; season with salt. Balance with more sugar, lime juice, or fish sauce if needed. Toast coconut in a dry small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Heat oil in same saucepan. Add half of shallots and fry, swirling, until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels with a slotted spoon to drain; season with salt. Cook peanuts in shallot oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season with salt. Remove peel and white pith from pomelos. Tear membrane off and pull segments into large pieces, transferring to a large bowl as you go. Add cilantro, remaining shallots, and half of dressing and toss to coat. Add coconut, peanuts, and dried shrimp; toss again. Divide among plates, drizzle with remaining dressing, and top with fried shallots.

Tips:

To easily segment the pomelo, first cut off the top and bottom of the fruit. Then, score the skin from top to bottom, following the natural segments of the fruit. Peel off the skin and remove the segments, being careful to remove any pith.
If you don't have a pomelo, you can substitute another citrus fruit, such as a grapefruit or orange.
To make the chile-lime peanuts, simply toss peanuts with a mixture of chile powder, lime zest, and salt. You can adjust the amount of chile powder to taste.
For a vegan version of this salad, you can omit the shrimp or substitute tofu.
This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

This vibrant and flavorful pomelo salad is a perfect way to enjoy the unique flavor of this citrus fruit. With its combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. The addition of shrimp, chile-lime peanuts, and coconut adds a delicious crunch and savory flavor to the salad.
