Steps:
- Dressing:
- First make the dressing. Combine the mustard and sherry vinegar in a bowl and add a pinch each of salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil, followed by the hazelnut oil to emulsify, then set aside.
- Salad:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the nuts on a baking sheet and roast in the middle of the oven for 3 to 4 minutes to warm and release their flavor. Turn into a cloth and rub gently to remove the skins, then roughly chop the nuts.
- For the salad, wash the watercress and gently pat dry. Peel the grapefruit, removing all the pith, then cut out the segments over a large bowl to catch the juice as well as the segments. Halve, pit, and peel the avocado, then cut into slices, similar in size to the grapefruit. Add to the grapefruit with the watercress and toss gently with your fingers to mix.
- If the dressing has separated on standing, give it a whisk, then drizzle half of it over the salad and toss lightly, so you don't break up the avocado or grapefruit. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Arrange the salad on a plate, interleaving the prosciutto slices and romano if using, with the watercress, grapefruit, and avocado. Sprinkle with the minced parsley and drizzle over the remaining dressing. Finally, scatter over the hazelnuts and serve.

Tips:
- To select the best grapefruit, look for fruits that are heavy for their size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid grapefruits with any soft spots or bruises.
- Avocado should be ripe but not too soft. To test for ripeness, gently squeeze the avocado; it should yield to gentle pressure.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the grapefruit and avocado. This will help to prevent the fruits from becoming bruised or crushed.
- If you are using a grapefruit that is particularly sour, you may want to add a little bit of sugar or honey to the salad dressing to balance out the flavors.
- This salad can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is also a great option for a light lunch or dinner.
Conclusion:
This grapefruit and avocado salad is a refreshing and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and sour grapefruit, creamy avocado, and crunchy walnuts makes for a delicious and satisfying salad. This salad is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
