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

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.

The dressing was a bit too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little more lime juice.

I found that the salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll use less sugar in the dressing.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. Simply prepare the salad and dressing ahead of time and store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, just combine the salad and dressing and enjoy.

Not a fan of grapefruit? You can substitute other citrus fruits, such as oranges or tangerines.

This salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The grapefruit segments, with their bursts of citrus, paired perfectly with the crunchy peanuts and the creamy coconut. The chile-lime dressing added a nice kick without being overpowering.
