Tangy citrus dressing enlivens peppery watercress in this brunch salad.
Ingredients
- 3 ruby red grapefruits
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 avocado, peeled and sliced
- 1 bunch large watercress, coarse stems removed
- 2 cups torn radicchio lettuce
- 2 tbsp thinly sliced green onions
Preparation
With vegetable peeler, peel rind from 1 of the grapefruit. With knife, cut enough rind into long paper-thin strips (julienne) to make 1/4 cup (50 mL); set aside. Peel remaining grapefruit. Cut away white pith from all grapefruit. Working over sieve set over measuring cup or bowl, slice grapefruit between membranes and pulp to release sections; set aside. Squeeze membranes to make 1/2 cup (125 mL) juice.
In small saucepan, cover reserved rind with water and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 1 minute; drain and add to grapefruit juice. Add oil, sugar, salt and pepper. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate dressing and grapefruit in separate airtight containers for up to 2 days.)
Peel, pit and slice avocado. In bowl, toss watercress with radicchio. Top with grapefruit and avocado; drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with onions.
