Vietnamese Pomelo Salad Recipe (Gỏi Bưởi)
Last week, our local Winco (no affiliation) had pomelos on sale. We got a few of them. Besides eating them as fruit, we also made them as food, Pomelo Salad (Gỏi Bưởi). This is one of the side dishes we used to enjoy as a kid back in our country. The dish is relatively simple to make. It’s a toss up of cooked pork, shrimp and pomelo. It has mixed tastes of sweet and sour. It costs around $5.92 for four servings ($1.48 per serving).
You’ll need a small bowl to make the sauce, a mixing bowl, and a small pot to cook pork and shrimp.
