The beauty of this salad is simplicity. Sweet and juicy pomelos, just ripe avocados, and wildly caught shrimps are all you need. We found some nice pomelos in Trader Joe’s this time. For good quality avocados and shrimps, we relied on Whole Foods. I got this recipe a while back, unfortunately without noting the source. If you come across it somewhere, please let me know. Thanks!

To make the tower salad as shown in the picture, you will need a ring mold like this, or you can make your own from a bottomless can. Otherwise, simply serve the layered salad in a clear glass. It looks very cool too!
