Pink Grapefruit Salad With Toasted Coconut And Fresh Mint Recipes

THAI GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Combine all dressing ingredients together in a cup, stirring well to dissolve the sugar.
• Set a pot of water to boil on the stove. Add shrimp and boil just a few minutes, until shrimp turn pink and plump and firm to the touch. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Place shredded coconut in a dry frying pan or wok over medium-high heat and stir until coconut turns light golden brown and fragrant. Place coconut in a small bowl to cool and set aside.
• Prepare your grapefruit, removing as much of the white peel as possible from the fruit. Break into bite-sized pieces, 3 to 4 cups is a good amount. Set prepared fruit in a salad bowl.
• Add to the bowl the cucumber, red pepper, shallots, basil, cilantro, and fresh chili, if using.
• To put the salad together, add shrimp to the salad bowl, then pour over the dressing. Toss well to combine. Add most of the toasted coconut and cashews, reserving a little for garnishing, then toss again.
• Taste-test the salad for a balance of sweet/sour/spicy/salty. Adjust to your liking, adding more sugar if too sour. Your salad is now ready to serve, or, if desired, prepare individual plates with a bed of greens and then top with generous portions of the pomelo salad. Sprinkle with reserved coconut and cashews.

GRAPEFRUIT SALAD WITH THAI CURRIED COCONUT DRESSING AS MADE BY ARNOLD MYINT RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the curry paste, lime juice, fish sauce, coconut milk, and agave until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the crispy shallots: Heat about ½ inch of oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 325°F (160°C).
• Lightly sprinkle the shallots with salt and let stand for about 5 minutes to draw out the moisture. Place the shallots on a paper towel and pat to dry out and remove any excess liquid. Lightly dust the shallots with cornstarch.
• Fry the shallots in the hot oil until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Set aside until ready to use.
• Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the grapefruit segments, green beans, Fresno chiles, bean sprouts, cabbage, sunflower greens, dill, mint, cilantro, and crispy shallots. Drizzle in half of the dressing and lightly fold everything together, adding more dressing as desired. Add the toasted coconut and roasted peanuts.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
