Pomelo and pistachio salad






Ingredients

1 pomelo
A handful of pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds.
Some lettuce of other salad ingredients
Parsley - leaves only
Feta cheese for crumbling on top - you can also cube it if you prefer - to taste
And for the dressing:
Olive oil,
lime juice,
salt and pepper
Start with 2:1 oil:lime juice and adjust to taste.

Roast in the oven or dry roast on the hob the nuts and seeds.
Add the dressing ingredients to a jar, shake vigorously and taste. Adjust as necessary.
Shred the lettuce (or arrange it beautifully on a plate, if you prefer)
Top with the pomelo which has been peeled and all pith and seeds removed (from a low GI factor, any tropical fruit is going to be higher than most of the other ingredients we use, but sparingly, it is worth it, plus the fibre means that the GL (Glycaemic Load) is lower).
Sprinkle with the nuts and seeds.
Top with the parsley.
Crumble the feta cheese over, then, just before serving, pour over the dressing and serve immediately.
