Pink Grapefruit, Avocado, and Watercress Salad

This zesty pink grapefruit, avocado, and watercress salad is a sophisticated dairy-free dish that balances vibrant citrus notes with the creamy texture of ripe avocado. The sharpness of the grapefruit and the peppery bite of fresh watercress are beautifully offset by a rich hazelnut oil dressing. Toasted hazelnuts add a delightful crunch, while shards of salty prosciutto provide a savoury depth that makes this salad feel truly indulgent yet remains light and refreshing.

Perfect as an elegant starter or a nutritious light lunch, this colourful salad is as healthy as it is visually striking. The combination of heart-healthy fats from the avocado and vitamin-rich greens makes it a fantastic choice for those seeking a balanced, homemade meal. Serve it on a large platter for a seasonal gathering or enjoy it as a quick, energising midweek treat.

Ingredients for Pink Grapefruit, Avocado, and Watercress Salad

  • 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

  • 1 cucharada de mostaza de Dijon

  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 45ml (40ml) mild-tasting extra-virgin olive oil

  • 45ml hazelnut oil

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.

Preheat the oven to 177°C (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 flavour. 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.
