Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 shelled hazelnuts
bunch of watercress
1 pink grapefruit
1 ripe avocado
8-12 slices of prosciutto
8-12 wafer-thin slices of young romano (optional)
1 tablespoon minced parsley
Dressing:
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons (40ml) mild-tasting extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons hazelnut oil

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:

  • Choose ripe and juicy pink grapefruit. This will ensure that your salad is bursting with flavor.
  • If you don't have a grapefruit knife, you can use a regular kitchen knife to cut the grapefruit. Just be careful not to cut yourself.
  • To make the dressing, you can use either olive oil or avocado oil. Olive oil has a more pungent flavor, while avocado oil is more mild. Grated lemon zest adds an extra burst of citrus.
  • If you're short on time, you can use canned grapefruit segments. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Pink grapefruit and avocado salad is a refreshing and healthy salad that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's packed with nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. The grapefruit and avocado are both good sources of antioxidants, which can help protect your cells from damage. This salad is also a good source of healthy fats, which can help you feel full and satisfied.
