Yield: 6 servingsThe salad must be assembled at the last possible minute in order for the greens to stay crisp and the avocado to stay green.Cut off the ends and carve off all the skin of the grapefruit, right down to the fruit itself. Hold the peeled grapefruit over a bowl, and slice along each membrane, releasing the sections of fruit one by one. Squeeze in all the remaining juice from the membrane.Strain the grapefruit sections over a second bowl to collect the juice. Put the sections aside and measure the juice. You will need 1/2 cup for the vinaigrette.Combine the grapefruit juice, mustard, olive oil, salt, lemon juice and vinegar and mix well. Cover and chill until serving.Just before serving, arrange the salad greens on individual serving plates.Peel and pit the avocado, and cut it into about 12 slender slices.
