GRAPEFRUIT MIXED VEGETABLE SALAD

This is a simple and easy salad with healthy food ingredients.  It’s very appetizing  and refreshing too.

The grapefruit flesh can be replaced by pamelo but I think, it is much easy to obtain grapefruit than pamelo.

It is a salad that tastes more savoury than sweet with the use of fish sauce for the dressing.  Basil leaves gives a sweet fragrance to this salad.
