Instructions
For the Salad
- In a large bowl, toss together the romaine lettuce, bite size pomelo pieces, avocado, slivered almonds, dried cranberries, sliced radish, green onion, and lime zest strips.
- Squeeze any remaining juice from the segmented pomelo membrane over the salad.
For the Dressing
- Whisk together the lime juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste the mixture to make sure it is sweet enough, adding additional sugar 1/2 teaspoon at a time if necessary.
- Whisk in the canola oil until completely blended.
To Finish

Tips
- If you can't find limes, leave them out of the salad. Substitute white vinegar in the dressing, adding additional sugar to taste.
- If you can't find pomelos, substitute sweet pink or red grapefruit.
- If you can't find purple radishes, substitute traditional red radishes.
