    This is an awesome salad. We made almost as written, only substituting jicama for the green mango (as is suggested in the recipe). It's a fair bit of work, but absolutely delicious, spicy, tart, sweet, and crunchy.

    Very nice, and a hit with the whole family though I did need to make some adjustments. Couldn't get the rice crackers so I omitted them. Omitted cilantro because of personal preference. Used a marinated tofu which I then sliced and fried, wasn't wild about the texture so try a different tofu next time. Maybe pre-fried or just omit. The pomelo was yellow and not super flavorsome . Maybe the variety (honey) or the season. Looking forward to trying this with a really good pomelo and a really green mango, but even with less than perfect ingredients this was exciting to eat.
