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.

Ingredients
1 grapefruit – skinned to obtain the flesh
½ cucumber or 1 zuchini – shredded
1 small onion – peeled and thinly sliced
30 gm shredded carrot
1 red chill – seeded and cut thin strips
50 gm boiled and sliced prawn
1 piece ham [optional] – cut strips
Some toasted white sesame seeds
Some Basil leaves
Dressing [mixed] - depends on how much of the above ingredients used
1 tbsp fish sauce to taste
2-3 tbsp calamansi juice
1 tsp brown sugar to taste

  1. Prepare the above ingredients as stated.
  2. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, then pour in the dressing.  Toss well to mix.
  3. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds. 
  4. Serve immediately or chill until serving time.
