Method

Peel the grapefruit and cut the flesh into segments. Squeeze the membranes/pulp to extract as much juice as possible.
To make the dressing, pour all the ingredients into a bottle or jar and add the grapefruit juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the rocket in a bowl, add the grapefruit segments and avocados and drizzle over the dressing just before serving.

Top Tip for making Avocado grapefruit and rocket salad

To test an avocado for freshness, pull out the stem. If it's green underneath, it'll be ripe and creamy - if it's brown, it's too far gone.
