Once you've done the work of peeling a pomelo and have a beautiful bowl of juicy segments, how do you eat it? What do you add?
After we posted our recent alert that pomelos were in local markets, Ed went wandering around the web to learn more about this lovely citrus. As I was breaking one into segments to serve as an afternoon snack, he was telling me about cultures where they put salt rather than sugar on pomelo. And, he even mentioned a combination of salt, sugar, and chili.
They all sounded like fun to me so I served up our fruit surrounded by a variety of dipping possiblities.
You know that this household of Aleppo-pepper-addicts had to try that and, of course, we loved it.
Here's a piece with a sugar, salt, and chili mix.
So, what do you have on your pomelos? And, do you have any favorite salads or drinks that you make with this giant citrus?
