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:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy pink grapefruit and avocados.
- If you don't have any shallots, you can use a small red onion instead.
- Be sure to finely chop the shallots and cilantro, as this will help them distribute their flavor evenly throughout the salad.
- If you're using a store-bought dressing, be sure to taste it before you add it to the salad. You may want to adjust the amount of dressing depending on your personal preferences.
- This salad is best served immediately after it's made, as the avocado will start to brown over time.
Conclusion:
This Pink Grapefruit and Avocado Salad is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious way to enjoy two of the most popular fruits of the season. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, or as a side dish for grilled chicken or fish. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy grapefruit and avocados, this salad is definitely worth a try.
