Pomelo is such an underused citrus fruit in Quebec yet absolutely delicious. Sweeter than pink grapefruit, meaty, juicy and naturally sweet. I decided to make my version with my favorite lettuce ever (curly lettuce), lots of fresh herbs and a completely legendary Thai-style sweet-salty-spicy vinaigrette. The combo of sweet pomelo, tangy lime, salty fish sauce, spicy red pepper flakes and fresh herbs. It explodes in your mouth. This is officially my new favorite summer recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83e\udd57 The three tricks for a perfect Thai pomelo salad<\/h3>\n<p>First trick: find a pomelo. You can easily find them in major grocery stores in Quebec. If you really can&#8217;t find one, pink grapefruit makes an acceptable substitute (but pomelo is sweeter and much larger, so adjust the quantity). Second trick, the cutting: use a sharp knife to remove the peel and white pith from the pomelo, then separate the segments and remove the membranes to break the flesh into pieces. This is the longest step of the recipe, but it&#8217;s worth every minute. Third trick: this salad does NOT keep. The pomelo mixed with lettuce gets crushed in the fridge, even without dressing. If you&#8217;re preparing ahead, make the pomelo, vegetables and vinaigrette separately. Assemble only when ready to serve.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83c\udf36 \ufe0f Versatile: side dish, summer lunch, appetizer, post-gym or main course<\/h3>\n<p>This Thai pomelo salad is the perfect accompaniment to my <a href=\"https:\/\/lecoupdegrace.ca\/en\/recipe\/japanese-style-beef-skewers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Japanese-style beef skewers<\/a> or any grilled meat, but it also works as a light summer lunch, a grilled fish side, or even as quick post-gym food for a fresh and nourishing meal. To transform it into a solid main course, add cooked shrimp, mango or papaya cubes, or a handful of roasted cashews. This base is so good it adapts to all additions. My favorite entertaining recipes are those that surprise with their originality. This one definitely delivers with its out-of-the-ordinary pomelo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thai pomelo salad with curly lettuce, fresh herbs and sweet-salty-spicy vinaigrette.
