POMELO SALAD WITH PEANUTS, MINT, AND CHILE
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.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe papaya for the best flavor. Unripe papaya can be bitter.
- Choose a chile pepper that is appropriate for your desired level of heat. Jalapeño peppers are mild, while serrano peppers are hotter.
- If you don't have fish sauce, you can substitute soy sauce or tamari.
- Use a sharp knife to julienne the vegetables. This will help them cook evenly.
- Be careful not to overcook the papaya. It should be tender but still slightly crunchy.
