Yield: 4 servings

- One 1-1/4 pound ruby red grapefruit…OR…1 cup grapefruit segments
- 2 medium-sized ripe avocados (about 1-1/4 pounds total)

Dressing:

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.
