Salad Ingredients
- 1 pomelo
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons sugar (add more if the pomelo tastes too tart)
Instructions
- Peel and Prepare Pomelo: Carefully remove the thick outer skin of the pomelo, then gently separate the pulps into chunks or smaller bite-sized pieces according to your preference. The skin is thick but soft, so take care to avoid tearing the fruit. Refer to a visual guide or video if needed to master the peeling technique.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, add the pomelo pulps. To these, add the chopped red onion, fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped green chili, salt, and sugar.
- Mix and Serve: Using your hand, mix all ingredients thoroughly to evenly distribute flavors. You can enjoy the salad immediately or let it rest for some time, allowing the salt and sugar to enhance the taste and make the salad more flavorful.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the tartness of the pomelo to balance flavors.
- If preferred, omit green chili for a milder version.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be chilled for 15-30 minutes to enhance taste.
- Wear gloves if sensitive to chili when mixing.
- Pomelo skin and membranes are not edible and should be discarded.
