Its almost Chinese New Year and the stores are all stocking up on fresh fruits which are a traditional Chinese gift for the season. Pomelos are a big citrus fruit much like grapefruit, but somewhat drier and sweeter. This Thai recipe makes use of them and you should be able to find them this time of year. If not grapefruit will do. This is from an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, 1/30/91, by Joyce Jue. Peel and separate pomelo or grapefruit into segments. Remove the membranes. Seed. Gently flake the flesh apart into a bowl. Chill. Hand shred the chicken. Add chicken and shrimp to pomelo. In a small bowl mix together the chopped red chile with fish sauce, sugar, lime juice and coriander; toss with pomelo chicken mixture. Arrange the lettuce on a serving platter. Put the fruit mixture over the lettuce. Top with peanuts and 2 tablespoons of Crisp Fried Shallot Flakes, and garnish with red chile slivers. Serves 4 to 6 as a salad entree. CRISP FRIED SHALLOT FLAKES: Slice shallots into thin slices. Be sure they are all of the same thinness to ensure even cooking. Heat a pan with the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add shallots and fry slowly until browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. The moisture in the shallots should be completely cooked out. Drain on paper towel. Store in an air-tight container. Will keep several weeks. Posted by Stephen Ceideburg; January 31 1991.

“”NOTE: After a couple of hours, the croutons will start to absorb the dressing. Some people like this; others (including the reviewer for Toronto Life!) do not. Time the addition of the croutons to suit your taste.” Preheat oven to 350F. Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet & toss with the oil. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, turning them every few minutes. They will take 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how fresh the bread is. Assemble the cucumber, peppers, green onion and parsley in a large bowl; leave out the tomatoes for now. Prepare the dressing: Stir the lemon juice, salt and garlic together until the salt dissolves. Add the pepper, cinnamon and allspice, then slowly beat in the olive oil. (May be prepared up to 12 hours ahead to this point.) Place the cut up tomatoes on top of the other vegetables. Pour on the dressing and toss well; add the croutons and toss again (see note).
