This is an incredibly refreshing and tasty salad that combines together sweet pomelo, peanuts, toasted coconut and sesame seeds tossed in a spicy dressing.
- 1 Pomelo
©angiesrecipes, break into bite size - 1 Shallot, thinly sliced, separated into rings
- 2 Piri piri, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Fish sauce (or soya)
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Peanuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 tbsp Coconut, toasted
- 1/2 tbsp Sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 tbsp Chopped parsley
- Separate the pomelo into sections, then peel and break up the sections into bite size chunks and transfer to a bowl. (check out Sharon's post on How To Cut Pomelo Fast)
- Heat the oil in a small saucepan. Add the shallot rings and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to paper towels to drain.
- In a small bowl, stir the piri piri with the fish sauce and sugar. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pomelo with peanuts, toasted coconut, sesame seeds and the dressing. Toss to coat. Mound the salad on a plate, then sprinkle the chopped parsley and fried shallots.

A delightful salad! So scrummy looking and fresh tasting.
Cheers,

Interesting salad out there
You've just posted one of my favourite recipe now :) I love pomelo salad. Mine is always extra spicy and with fish sauce, too.
I've never worked with pomelo before...don't even know that I've heard of it...but now I want to track some down!! This salad looks wonderful!
This looks so refreshing and delicious! I'll have to track down some piri piri, unfortunately I only seem to see it as a flavouring in processed foods. Where would one buy piri piri?
Wow! What a neat combo of spice and fresh tart. Love it!
This is indeed very refreshing. We have pomelo mixed with "Yu Sheng"(鱼生）during Chinese New Year.
the salad looks super tempting- never tried anything like this with pomelo!
Beautiful salad..love your creativity Angie :)

This is new to me as I am not used to some of the ingredients but I must admit that it looks good.
Not only a nice salad, but looks like you also have picked a juicy and meaty pomelo ... : ).
Juicy and refreshing and definitely a good way to work up an appetite.
OMG that looks absolutely gorgeous wish i can have the whole plate.
this looks wonderful
Never heard of a pomelo, is it like a grapefruit? Either way, it looks like a tasty salad!
This looks so enticing and it's featuring an ingredient I've never see, never heard of and now I wonder if I could find it. The picture begs to be tasted.
Chinese New Year is coming soon. I have to admit that the past several years, we simply eat the pomelo just as it is. Turn it into a salad, that's a great idea. I assume that you have saved the pomelo skin for your next dish, right? ;)
It seems an interesting salad! I can try to eat pomelo in salad next time!
I love pomelos but I've never thought to turn them into a salad. What a great idea! Thank you for sharing with me today...and thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your presence in my day!

I got them at local supermarkets. Normal chilli can be used instead.
You come up with the most unique, amazing and delicious-looking recipes. This one is on top of my list now! Must add pomelo to my shopping list...

Pomelo does taste like grapefruit. Actually in China we call "grapefruit" as "western pomelo". You might also find others name "pomelo" as "Chinese grapefruit".
Fabulous mix of tastes. I love this salad. Looks so refreshing!
this sounds so good:) very good use of pomelo.. i love the flavors very much.
I've never had Pomelo, looks similar to grapefruit, so I'd like it then! So many nice flavors in your salad, looks delicious, fresh and vibrant!
I am not familiar with pomelos but this looks interesting and healthy!
Beautiful and interesting ,healthy salad..
I have never had pomelo - this looks like a beautiful and refreshing salad, I am so curious to try it!
Hi Angie-I kind of thought Pomelo is in the grapfruit family. Delicious healthy, and refreshing salad. Love the combination of the peanuts and coconuts in it!
I love pomelos, never had it like this before! This is a must-try!
I come across the pomelo often at the store and for some reason resort back to pink ruby grapefruits. I guess the size kind of put me off. I think it's time to change that and give this a try ;o)
Angie, I like what you paired it with in this refreshing salad.
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
LOVE pomelo. This is a brilliant idea! I've seen recipes for pomelo salads before but this is quite interesting with the use of shallots. Makes it slightly savoury-ish. I've never tried pomelo salads because I love them on their own but would like to give this a try sometime :)
Well, I must admit pomelo is not included in my favourites (too sour) but when I look at your pictures, your salad looks tempting...

I just don't know what to write now! Am so drooling that I kept looking at those pomelo salad pics! ;)
I've been tempted to make pomelo salad for such a long time! Now after seeing this gorgeous dish I know I need to ASAP!
Oh and thanks for the mention, so sweet of you!
looks scrumptious!
Pomelo's my favourite fruit and what a refreshing new way to eat this fruit
I would love this salad. I love pomelo. I could eat the whole thing all by myself.
Wow, I'm in love with all those flavors - this is a delicious salad!
i love pomelos and in a salad, a perfect lunch!

I love pomelo, but usually just eat it plain. It looks really good in this salad though! :)
This does sound good Angie, love how it has the fish sauce in it. I'm always intrigued by pomelos, but rarely see them in my stores. I'm going to be on a pomelo hunt now! Hope you have a great week!

Agreed. This is one very fresh looking salad. I'm not exaggerating when I say my mouth is watering. I haven't eaten many pomelos, so I think this is something I must try.
healthy salsd, yummy
Love pomelo salad. Once I tried one in a Thai restaurant, then addicted to it.
Wow...this looks nice and delicious. I never thought of using pomelo to make salad. I have to try this when I get pomelo again. The sour ones would be good for this :D
I love Pomelo! I've only tasted it in restaurants before. Thanks for the recipe!
Oh, it sounds and looks fantastic!
Such a refreshing and beautiful salad, excellent combo with peanuts and sesame seeds!
Beautiful clicks..looks so yummy!!
What a neat recipe.....beautiful and a wonderful mix of flavors.
Wow I never knew pomelo could be used in such a way. Looks delish especially with the fried shallots.
oh how refreshing and beautiful it looks :)
Your so creative, thanks for sharing what Pomelo is, and I would love to try it like this!
Your pomelo salad is just perfect! Wonderful the way you prepared it! This is a favorite salad in the house every time it is in season, delicious and you get a healthy dose of vitamin c too! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
I love these spicy and fruity flavors together. Looks like a refreshing salad!
What a perfect salad. It looks so refreshing. I love pomelos but they are hard to find here. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
wow this is such a wonderful refreshing salad love citrus fruits
I don't know if I ever had a pomelo Angie! But I want one now - your salad is lovely!
I only just recently began eating pomelo and have not yet tried it in a recipe. This looks fabulous!
What a unique recipe! I always wonder what to do with Pomelos.
Very unique flavors in this refreshing salad. I love it!
You really have an incredible genius for combining ingredients to come up with amazing dishes.

I have never heard of pomelo before but after google searching it I can imagine how wonderful this would be in a salad.
This is the first time I have ever heard of a pomelo. I looked it up on wikipedia and it sounds like something I would like. Your salad does look really refreshing!
What a yummy salad! I always know I'll find an interesting recipe when I stop by your blog. Thanks!
You know I've never had fresh pomelo. Think I'm going to have to fix that since your salad looks so good. Very fresh. Can just see the big pulp that should be full of sweetness.
Angie, I've never tried pomelo. The salad looks so delightfully refreshing. Thanks for introducing me to a new ingredient.
Fascinating combination of flavors, delicious as well :)
This looks like a beautiful salad! I'm gonna need to find some pomelos!
I have yet to try pommelo, but this salad looks amazing! What a lovely combination of texturesa and flavors!
A very creative and refreshing salad! Reminds me of the raw fish salad (yee sang) that we enjoy during the Chinese New Year.
I used to have pomelo sprinkling a little salt , sugar, pepper,chopped fresh ginger and fresh coriander with little lime juice never thought to have it this way! Very delicious!
Ipoh is famous for its Tambun pomelos. But I've never thought of making it into a salad. You're just so creative, Angie!
I am craving this......
My favourite salad hands down. I always, always, order it at Thai restaurants! Love the look of yours :)
we have an abundance of pomelo currently due to the Chinese New Year. this looks like a refreshing and healthy salad to enjoy.
I like pomelo very much but I never tried to make a pomelo salad. That is until now. After seeing this recipe I’m definitely going to make one.
Love this sort of savory fruit salad. I also love the way you have your blog posts listed like a buffet almost.
What a yummy looking salad, it just looks darn tasty and I love pomelo.
I love it! It's fresh and delightful! I actually tried doing it at home, and it tasted great! Love the recipe :) Do you have a recipe for sicilian chicken salad? I would love to make it at home for my family :D
