Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

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.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still delicious!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover pomelo. I had some pomelo that was starting to go bad, and this salad was a great way to use it up.

Absolutely delicious! The combination of flavors and textures is incredible. The pomelo is sweet and juicy, the chile adds a nice kick, the lime is refreshing, the peanuts add a satisfying crunch, and the coconut adds a touch of sweetness and creamin
