Prawn and Pomelo Salad with Caramelised Coconut
Pomelos can be found at many Western and Asian grocers. The fruit has a thick skin and pith which can be cut off with a knife. Wedges are peeled more easily by hand. Lefotver pomelo wedges can be eaten on their own, but they also make a great addition to fruit salads or an Asian slaw.
