"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!"

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Cook and stir coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Cut top and bottom off the pomelo, about 1/2 inch from each side. Make vertical cuts around the fruit, about 1/2 inch into the rind. Pull off slices of rind. Pull off any thick pieces of membrane. Split fruit open and separate into segments. Peel membrane off each slice.
- Place pomelo slices in a shallow bowl. Sprinkle toasted coconut, peanuts, shallots, and mint on top.
- Combine hot water and palm sugar in a jar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Whisk in lime juice, fish sauce, and chile pepper. Spoon dressing over salad.

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Thai bird's eye chiles can be really spicy. Adjust the amount of chile to taste.
- Substitute light brown sugar for the palm sugar if preferred.
- Fried shallots are available at Asian grocery stores. You can make your own by heating 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a small saucepan. Add 1/2 shallot, thinly sliced. Fry until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully that they do not burn. Drain well before using.
