Pomelo Salad with Peanuts, Mint, and Chile

Recipesfull introduces to you: Fruit Salad Recipes. (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!
