Pomelo Salad with Pea Shoots and Spicy Dressing

October 25, 2017

I love salads.

Leafy greens, roasted veggies, grains, or a fruit salad. You name it! I want to have it every day.

You can use grapefruit instead pomelo in this recipe, but pomelo has much sweeter, lightly floral and faintly bitter juices compering to quite bitter and so often sour grapefruit.
