Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Carefully peel the pomelo, removing all of the bitter white pith and membranes from the fruit segments.
Aproximativ 7 min.
Nota bucătarului: The white pith can be very bitter, so ensure it's completely removed for the best flavor. Some pomelos are sweeter than others; taste a piece to gauge its sweetness before preparing the dressing.
- 2
Gently tear the pomelo segments into bite-sized pieces and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Handle the pomelo gently to prevent bruising and retain its texture.
- 3
Julienne the carrot into thin matchsticks and add them to the bowl with the pomelo.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: For uniform matchsticks, first slice the carrot into thin rounds, then stack them and cut into thin strips.
- 4
Julienne the cucumber into thin matchsticks and add them to the bowl.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: If the cucumber has large seeds, you can scoop them out before julienning to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- 5
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the other vegetables.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: For a milder onion flavor, you can soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain thoroughly before adding to the salad.
- 6
Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and cilantro, then add them to the bowl with the pomelo and vegetables.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Use fresh, vibrant herbs for the best aroma and flavor. Avoid bruising them by chopping just before adding to the salad.
- 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, minced garlic, minced Thai chili (if using), and water until well combined.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Taste the dressing and adjust the maple syrup for sweetness or Thai chili for heat to suit your preference.
- 8
Pour the prepared dressing evenly over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 9
Gently toss the salad until all ingredients are well combined and coated with the dressing.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Use a light hand when tossing to avoid breaking up the delicate pomelo segments.
- 10
Allow the salad to rest for 10 minutes, uncovered, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: This resting period is crucial for the dressing to penetrate the ingredients and for the flavors to harmonize.
- 11
Before serving, sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts and fried shallots over the salad.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: For extra crunch, you can lightly toast the peanuts in a dry pan before chopping.

This salad is wonderfully versatile. For a heartier meal, consider adding grilled tofu or tempeh. It pairs beautifully with other Vietnamese dishes like spring rolls or a light pho. A crisp, dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a refreshing iced jasmine tea would complement the flavors perfectly.
