When my assistant, Damien, created this salad it made me smile! This yummy citrus salad is a combination of sweet and tart that is so refreshing! It's also quite healthy for you. Pomelo grapefruit is a large Thai grapefruit that is sometimes hard to find, so substituting with pink or red grapefruit is just as good. The key is to getting all of the skin removed so there are no remnants of white pith or membrane. You really only want the edible flesh of the fruit. It always looks so easy when the chefs section a grapefruit on TV. Here's a tip to make it easier: (how to section a grapefruit). It's not as hard as you think!
