Ingredients
- One 1-1/4 pound ruby red grapefruit, or 1 cup grapefruit segments
- 2 medium-sized ripe avocados (about 1-1/4 pounds total)
- 1 bunch watercress (about 6 ounces), washed and thick stems removed
- 1 tablespoon almond, walnut, or olive oil
- 1-1/2 teaspoons sherry vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2 to 3 drops hot pepper sauce
Directions
- Cut the grapefruit in half; seed them and
carefully remove the segments. Reserve the shells.
- Cut each avocado in half; peel and pit.
- Divide the trimmed watercress among 4 chilled salad plates. Put an avocado half on top of each watercress nest. Divide the grapefruit segments to fill the cavities and top the avocado halves.
- To make the dressing, squeeze 1 tablespoon of juice from the grapefruit shells into a small bowl. Add the oil, vinegar, seasoned salt, and hot pepper sauce. Mix well with a fork.
- Drizzle 2 teaspoons of the dressing over each salad.
