Bhogate Sadheko - a delicious Nepalese Pomelo salad which I learnt to make from my Nepali friend. It is easy to make even though it looks like there's lots of ingredients. It packs a great protein punch due to the addition of sesame seeds and Greek yogurt. The nuttiness of sesame, paired with the heat from mustard oil, the creaminess of greek yogurt and the tanginess from citrus fruits are all a flavor bomb and blend together so seamlessly!
I've used grapefruit and blood oranges because it makes this dish so pretty and can be a showstopper salad for your festive table or just a great summer salad for your next BBQ (try something other than the usual potato salad and win praises!)
