How to Prepare Pomelo Salad With Roasted Coconut [Vegan]

Peel the pomelo and divide it into eatable chunks. Only the fruity bits should be used, remove all the skin. Chop the herbs and add to the pomelo.
Mix the lime juice with the soy sauce, sweetener and water and pour it over the salad. Give it a quick toss and then let it sit to marinate for ten minutes.
In the meantime, finely chop the chili and the peanuts, and add it together with the coconut to a pan. On medium heat, roast for a minute or two while stirring. The coconut should go a little brown, but make sure it doesn't burn!
Add the coconut-peanut-chilli mix to the salad and garnish with some more fresh herbs before serving.
