    Very refreshing! I loved it! I did not add the salt and I used low sodium soy sauce. Also used Splenda brown sugar. Recommend 2 grapefruits. Will make again!! - 3/4/08

    Excellent! I used low sodium soy, cut the sugar in 1/2. Pomelos are very large so ample for 4. I don't know why all the complaints! This was incredibly refreshing and it is easy to reduce sodium content and sugar content without losing the taste. - 3/3/08

    yum...I added cilantro and used chili garlic paste, so next time I'd use less soy...I also used pomelo and grapefruit together... - 3/3/08

    I don't really like grapefruit, but I often crave it!!?? Maybe my body knows that I need something that it offers. But this sounds like the perfect way to have my grapefruit and eat it too! Thanks for the recipe, and I have to ask, why comment if you didn't try it or don't even want to try it? - 3/14/09

    You can always use low sodium soy sauce if you are concerned the sodium. - 3/3/08

    Very Refreshing! For people complaining about the sodium levels, just buy the low sodium soy sauce and omit the 1/4 tsp salt which is what I did and we loved this. Pomelo's are enormous and definitely was enough for 4 as a tasty starter. - 3/3/08

    I used light soy sauce to reduce sodium, used less sugar, ate 2 servings and spread my bowl with ground flaxseed. Loved it! :-)) - 3/3/08

    I used a bit of fish sauce instead of the salt and palm sugar (but less sugar). I also added a bunch of chopped coriander. - 3/9/08

    I'M NEVER WITHOUT GRAPEFRUIT - OR ANY OF THE INGREDIENTS, SO I QUICKLY WAS ABLE TO PUT THIS TOGETHER - IT'S A NEW FAVORITE! - 3/3/08

    A pomello is a HUGE fruit, so half of one gives enough for four servings. If you use grapefruit, you would probably need to use about 2 grapefruits to get the same amount of fruit. - 3/3/08

    THANK YOU FOR A WOUNDERFUL RECIPE. MY HUSBAND
    ENJOYS THIS AS WELL. - 2/1/09
  • AMBERNINE
    Wonderful...I love grapefruit and pomelo....Asian food needs the sugar and the soy sauce your body metabolizes soy sauce very easily..however I didn't add the extra table salt..just look at how petite most Asians are....that should give you the clue that this is not an unhealthy salad. - 3/3/08
  • MEETEEMARIE
    sounds good and very different to me . Sometimes foods might not look or sound appealing but they turn out to be Great tasting I'll give this on a try . ethnic foods can really supprise you , I'd hate to see some of the comments on my ethnical backing .... - 3/3/08
  • RUBENESQUEANGEL
    This sounds seriously yummy! I think it would be wonderful with corn bread and grilled chicken breasts or potatoes roasted on the bbq :) - 5/17/09
  • NVLADYSLIPPER
    This only calls for 2 TBS of brown sugar for heaven's sake! Why all the grumbling-that is 100 cal divided by 4 servings! Worry about something important like the cals in junk food not the 25 from sugar in a serving of this yummy salad!! OK--I'm done venting! LOL - 5/7/09

    At first I didn't think I'd like it so I wouldn't want to make it but after reading all the comment I think I would like to try it. But what is a Pomelo? - 3/3/08
